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
Yesterday we stopped by French creek to cool down from our 'completely comfortable' day. Everyone got out and shuffled to the creek...well everyone except Janessa and me (katie)...I asked (well more like begged) her to get her suit on with me. We got all decked out in our suits, goggles, and snorkels and headed down. We saw the instant jealousness painted on everyones faces. The water was surprisingly warm and not turbid at all! We scanded the floors filled with clams, fish, and bugs that could 'supposidely' stung like bees. We gathered a bunch of clamshells to decorate ROOM C! It was so wicked! Others walked across the shallow and caught minos with their nets, but not us. We prefered to catch our fish with our bare hands! We didnt catch any, but we tried really hard. The day grew old, so we headed home. Leaving all the awesomeness of the creek behind us...
