2025 Annual Conference Off-Site-Driftwood Beach Interpretive Sunday Experience *Pre-Registration Required*

Description

Speaker-Tim Petrea

Join us for an immersive interpretive hike along Jekyll Island’s iconic Driftwood Beach — where wind, tide, and time have transformed fallen maritime forest into a striking landscape of natural sculptures. This one-hour guided program will model the principles of interpretation in action, demonstrating how to transform resources into stories that connect visitors with meaning, memory, and place. Participants will explore themes of resilience, change, and human connection as we walk among centuries-old oaks, shifting shorelines, and habitats alive with wildlife. Along the way, you will see interpretive techniques woven into practice — from using questions to spark curiosity, to linking tangible resources with universal concepts, to creating reflective moments of silence that let participants form their own connections.
