OBHIC Announces 2013
Wilderness Symposium

Mark your calendar now for the 2013 OBHIC Wilderness Therapy Symposium! The Symposium will be held Thursday, September 5 - Saturday, September 7, 2013.

After an incredibly successful 2012 Symposium that boasted a surge in numbers with over 300 attendees, we are excited to announce the dates and location for our upcoming 2013 Symposium.

We are returning to the Millennium Hotel in Boulder, CO on September 5 - 7, 2013. Please note that these dates represent a significant change of a Thursday through Saturday schedule. This shift was made to encourage greater participation in the wilderness based off-site workshops, create more time for social connecting, and better accommodate participant travel schedules.

The dates and return location for our 2013 event were given careful consideration with regard to holidays, 2012 participant feedback, hotel availability, and seasonal weather. Based on these factors, the selected dates offer us the best option to ensure another successful event.

The Symposium Committee would like to acknowledge that despite our best efforts, the 2013 Symposium will coincide with Rosh Hashanah. We regret any issues this may cause and are confident that we will be able to avoid a similar scheduling conflict in 2014.

Information regarding registration, call for proposals and the keynote presentation will be continually updated on our website obhic.com/symposium/about.html

You can also expect periodic emails identifying important dates and milestones that may require your attention.

That's all for now ~ we look forward to seeing you all again next year!
