Our
2011 CREEK days are set! We will be offering day long camps for
middle school-age students during the last week of July.
We have an exciting and educational day in the works.
We'll be checking out awesome microscopic pond dwellers up
close, getting to know some important plants, crating our own
aquatic creatures from found objects, doing water quality
testing, cooling off with the fish and more.
All
youth going into 6th, 7th, or 8th grade in Cherokee and Clay
counties in NC and Towns and Union counties in GA are invited!
Sign up now - we are taking students on a first come first
served basis. The camp is free of charge thanks to our
wonderful HRWC donors - if you would like to become one or add
to a previous donation, please contact us here.
C.R.E.E.K. MISSION & FOCUS
The
mission of
C.R.E.E.K. is to educate young people (6th-8th graders)
about basic water quality science and aquatic life in our
streams;
to
encourage behavior that protects water
quality; and to promote
career opportunities in sciences to young people.
The
program focuses on water quality and watershed
investigations. With the help of water quality
professionals, students use scientific equipment along
streams to collect data for an authentic environmental
research experience. Participants also learn practical applications of
watershed concepts.
HRWC is currently actively seeking funding to hold
week long C.R.E.E.K. camps in 2012 and to sustain
and expand the program far into the future.
Please
contact us if you are interested in becoming a
C.R.E.E.K. sponsor!
