Camp Waterschool (4-day camp)

Water, Water Everywhere! We use it every day but have you ever stopped to think about where it comes from? How much do we have on the planet? Have you ever wanted to get your feet wet and immerse yourself in nature, science and discovery?

Upcoming Sessions

• Session 1: Wild about Water

  In this camp, we will discover and explore water using our local rivers as inspiration. Through scientific investigations, arts and crafts, and outdoor adventures, campers will see our local rivers in a whole new way. The week will include pond explorations, stream science, and will culminate with a canoe trip led by experienced guides. By reflecting on their personal experiences with the river, campers will appreciate how they can make positive differences in their watershed and community.
