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!

GPS Scavenger Hunt
We were introduced to Allegheny College's campus, and our home for the next week, via a geocaching extravaganza. The campers were split into groups and paired up with a counselor, tour guide, and a GPS. Then we were off, following the coordinates to a hidden treasure box... which just had more coordinates to follow and more boxes to find. But never fear, we had a great time learning about the campus and the whole college experience and getting to know our fellow campers. Eventually, we finally got the goodies we were promised as the scavenger hunt came to an end. Everyone received an Allegheny bag filled with useful items and a sugar rush from freeze pops. After a rough rounds of the cup song and lots of chit chat, we headed back to the dorms for even more team bonding.
