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!

Adventures in Hydro-Geology
As we entered Alden Hall, no one expected much. However, as we adventured downstairs into the basement, we found more than we expected. As we turned the corner and saw the Stream Table, Alden transformed from a normal building into a dream from our childhoods. This table of sand and water became a table of endless possibilities, and for a short time, we were God. We created rivers, saved lives, shaped the earth, and flooded it. We built dams and broke them. Friendships were made and concretized even further. In the words of Oppenheimer, "I have become death, destroyer of worlds."
