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!

Cool Creek Critters!
After the Creek chemistry we grabbed our Creek kicknets and headed into the cold Creek. In teams, we planted the nets in the muck, two held the nets while the other "danced" to stir the little critters out of there homes. We picked up the nets and laid them out to see all the cool Creek critters we had found. all the nets were full of crazy bugs and some of us even found a few fishys =) The main reason as to why we did this was to see if the water was poluted because some of the bugs were sensitive to polution. we found that the river quality was fair. Go Creek!
