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!

Eco-Scavenger Hunt
While our creek camper groups were hunting for hellbenders, we were also competing against each other in a bio scavenger hunt. The list of items included many different animals from the week, including fish, turtles, macroinvertebrates, and snakes. The teams had many great finds, including sponges, crayfish, zebra mussels, and caddisflies. However, the illustrious Team Winner, led by incomparably awesome counselor Briana, clinched the win, after an anonymous golden-haired Ohioan found a species of turtle that had never been found in the stream before. And BOOM goes the dynamite.
