Fontenelle Forest and the Nebraska Master Naturalist Program will host the National Association for Interpretation’s (NAI) Certified Interpretive Trainer workshop at Camp Brewster during the week of Oct. 15-19 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The workshop is designed to improve trainers’ skills using NAI's Certified Interpretive Guide curriculum as well as other materials that will help trainers become better facilitators and evaluators.
The cost is $625 for NAI members and $700 for non-members. Participants must also provide evidence of eligibility for certification at the professional Certified Interpretive Trainer level. Upon completion of the course and meeting the other requirements for being a Certified Interpretive Trainer, participants can use NAI's curriculum and certify staff and volunteers at other sites.
