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!

It is Summer! But look! Tests!
Today, the eight members of the group ventured out to Woodcock Creek to do some testing. These tests were used to determine different levels of certain things in the creek's water. Some of the things tested were: Temperature, pH, Total dissolved solids, Turbidity, Oxygen levels, Nitrogen and Phosphorous. All of these tests were done in the rain! All things are well here at Allegheny and I can not wait for the rest of the week! More to come this week from the creek!
