Our training workshops are designed to connect teachers with CRC and Smithsonian scientists and to make cutting edge research protocols accessible to teachers and their students. Teachers are trained in scientific methodology and field techniques, and provided with appropriate materials and supplies. Upon completion of each training course, urban, suburban, and rural teachers are able to put these techniques into practice. Our Training Facilities at the CRC Workshops take place at CRC's 3,200 acre campus in the Blue Ridge Mountains just south of Front Royal, Virginia.
Training takes place in the field and in our research labs.
During overnight programs, participants are housed in dormatories at the CRC Training Center.
