Recorded live at the Hartley Outdoor Education Center during the Outside the Classroom Camp-Style Overnight PD Experience, this episode features a conversation with nationally recognized educator, speaker, storyteller, and self-described “unicorn protector” Kevin Honeycutt.

What started as a discussion about karaoke and camp culture quickly turned into a deeper conversation about connection, creativity, belonging, and what makes great schools and great educators stand out.

In this episode, we discuss:

🦄 Protecting the “unicorns” in our schools and why creative and passionate students and educators deserve more than tolerance—they deserve support.

🌲 The magic of camp-style professional learning and why stepping away from our daily routines can help us reconnect with the joy of learning.

🏫 “Bend the system to match the kids instead of bending the kids to match the system” and what that mindset looks like in practice.

💡 What gives Kevin hope about the future of education and the educators who continue to show up, learn, grow, and serve kids.
