Freshwater Academy is a week-long camp that gives high school students the opportunity for hands-on experience and fieldwork in Northwestern Pennsylvania's waterways. Students spend their days studying biology and freshwater ecology at a level they can't achieve in the classroom. They will get wet, they will get dirty, and they will love it!

Swimming in a Lake
Today while we were on our canoe trip we decided to stop on a sandy beach for lunch. After we had all eaten we decided to go swimming. At first only a few people went in, but as time went on everyone got in . . . except Laura. Then we played Jackpot in the water. It is a game where someone throws a ball or other object and calls out points from 1-10 thousand or Jackpot. Whoever gets to 10 thousand first gets to through next. It would have been easier if we didnt have to wear life jackets and water shoes. But we had fun though with lots of fighting. As we left we were all soaked and were ready to continue on our adventure

Were all the water lilies open when you were there? Any giant lily pads?? Those are awesome.
When you have lunch in such a nice place, the food tastes better!!
How high is the lake? Did you see any waterfowl?
There were a few different types of water lilies on the lake... one with very large leaves.
You're right... lunch always tastes better in a beautiful place. :)
We saw great blue herons, TWO bald eagles, some kingfishers, some wood ducks and a few other kinds of ducks (they were flying and difficult to identify). It was a great day!
