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!

Bat Watching
Last night, we went out and tried to find flying bats. Before we did that Terry, the bat expert, showed us a few types of bats and where they like to live. Also so of the things they like to eat and how big their wingspan is. When he FINALLY opened the bat boxes we saw and heard at least 60 bats. As it got lster they bats were getting more active but still not getting out of the box. So Terry raised the box high enough so that they all cam rushing out in groups of three. That was a fun filled night.It was totally worth the bug bites!!
