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!

Teambuilding!
When signing up for Creek Camp, the first feeling that washed over me was excitement. I mean, come on, it's Creek Camp! What could be any better than that? However, an entirely new feeling soon began to set in. I'm going to camp with complete strangers! Excitement soon turned to nerves. However, as soon as I set foot into North Village and met my new companions for the week, all the nerves vanished. Being with a group of people who had the same interests and passions as I did turned out to be absolutely incredible. We started off by playing a game of 4 Square. We began to talk about where we went to school, what we wanted to study, and what activities and interests we each had. We then went to dinner and learned even more about each other. Right after dinner we split up into two groups (Boys v. Girls) and went on a Geocache tour of the Allegheny College campus. When returning to the North Village, we began a game of Apples to Apples. It was a night of laughs that made us all even more excited for the incredible week ahead.
