Summer Educator Retreats

When’s the last time you got an entire day to yourself?

Healthy students begin with healthy teachers. Our free full-day summer retreats give educators the time and tools to recharge, reduce stress, and foster resilience. We’ve taught thousands of educators how to proactively support their mental health, model positive behavior for students, and cultivate healthier classrooms. Teachers receive free lunch and 7.5 contact hours.

Fulfill New CDE Licensure Requirements

As of June 30, 2025, the Colorado Department of Education is requiring educators to complete 10 hours of professional development in student behavioral health and/or educating students with disabilities as part of the 90-hour license renewal process.

MPP’s Educator Retreats meet these criteriaβ€”making it easier than ever to fulfill this requirement while caring for your own mental health and learning practical tools to support your students.

No extra paperwork. No CDE approval needed. Just time well spent.
