Let's Explore Geography
in Minnesota
About the Event
The AMI-EAA Summer Conference 2026 invites Montessori educators to explore Geography: A Study of People and Places in the beautiful Land of 10,000 Lakes!
Join us in Minnesota for a week of deep exploration into geography across the Montessori curriculum — from maps and the Mississippi River to the rich cultural and natural landscape of the Twin Cities region.
This conference will feature hands-on exploration, presentations, and the opportunity to experience Minnesota's geography firsthand through local excursions and activities.
Conference Highlights
Maps, Maps, Maps!
Dive deep into cartography and map-making across the Montessori curriculum — exploring how geography connects children to the world.
Mississippi River
Experience the mighty Mississippi firsthand — including paddle share kayaking on the river right in the Twin Cities metro area.
Sculpture Garden
Visit Minneapolis' iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture — where art, nature, and city life come together.
Cave Tour & Dancing
Evening adventure option — learn to swing dance in a cave or take a tour!
Can Can Wonderland
Imagine Willy Wonka's chocolate factory designed by Dr. Seuss — an indoor arcade and maker space full of madcap creativity.
Japanese Garden
Visit the Ordway Japanese Garden — a gift from Nagasaki, Japan, St. Paul's sister city since 1955.
