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!

Bees, bees, bees!
We visited an entomologist named Beth in the Environmental Science department, and had a very interesting activity about pollinators, specifically bees. We identified some bee species by examining them under a microscope, and had the opportunity to ask questions about the bee population both in Meadville and the whole world. We learned how important insects are as predators, pollinators, and as part of the food chain.
