Started in 1995, this remarkable biennial learning experience is for students and teachers who live within or are passionate about Lake Superior and its watershed (MI, WI, MN, & ON). We will keep you updated as planning continues to unfold during the pandemic. We know it takes a lot of lead time for schools to plan for student participation in multi-day educational programs, and for all to engage.

Direct any questions to Renee Jewett, the lead coordinator of the 2021 symposium, by email or by calling 906-227-2002.

We are looking forward to this year's unique event!
