FGA Summer Institutes

Each year the FGA hosts educators across the state for a week-long retreat full of resources, tours, guest speakers, ground-breaking curriculum and completely free educational materials. These workshops are free of charge, including room and board, and travel to cities all along the peninsula. Previous institutes have found their homes at the Archbold Biological Station, Hillsborough River State Park, and right here at our headquarters in Florida's Capitol. This exciting annual event aims to equip teachers with a whole new love for geography.

The FGA Summer Institutes are set to resume in 2023!

Who are the Institutes for?

Each FGA retreat is open to teachers of all subjects, grade levels and experience. You do not need to be a member of the Alliance or even a formal educator to attend!

A crucial tennet of the Institutes is access to resources and information. All materials provided at these events are accessible to the public, not just attendees. Everything from the workshops, lessons and activities during each retreat are immediately made available online for anyone to download.
