Great Basin Teachers Workshop The Great Basin Teachers Workshop will not be held in 2013 because of reduced budgets. We hope to bring it back in 2014. The Ely District, in partnership with other federal and state agencies and non-profit organizations, hosts the Great Basin Teachers Workshop each July. The six-day workshop is directed toward educators’ grades K-12 looking to implement inquiry-based science projects into their classrooms through hands-on discovery of “Life in the Great Basin.” Subjects rotate annually. Workshop participants can obtain In-service or college credits from cooperating colleges and universities. The workshop is conducted at Camp Success at the south end of the Duck Creek Basin, high in the Schell Creek Range. Camp Success is a well-maintained facility with an historic main lodge, kitchen, modern showers and restroom facilities, and large canvas wall tents. Much of the hands-on workshop takes place in the field. Participants are encouraged to bring sunscreen, a hat, sturdy hiking boots, sleeping bag and more (a complete list of essentials is provided upon registration).
