One of Rogers’ - who is best known as Mister Rogers - principals was that learning rooted in relationships, curiosity, and care helps children thrive. The frED Camp will explore what it will look like to bring Rogers’ beliefs into classrooms, libraries, early learning spaces, and homes.

The free professional development event is intended for educators of all kinds. Attendees will have exclusive access to the Fred Rogers Archives, which is home to more than 22,000 artifacts from Rogers’ personal and professional life.

In addition to a self-guided archive experience, all participants will take part in an opening workshop led by Emma Lee, director of the Fred Rogers Institute, and other workshops by local organizations.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the college in Latrobe. Those interested in attending can register online.
