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!

French Creek
Today, we were able to meet with Brenda Costa, who gave an interesting presentation on creatures that resided in French Creek, including Hellbenders and Muscles that were threatened thanks to pollution. Afterwards, we got to go wading into the Creek and enjoy the water. We were able to catch and see many cool animals, including many crayfish, stone fly nymphs, and even a Lamprey. We also were able to see two Bald Eagles fly over us and land on a branch near by.
