Year 1 Camp – Week 2
The next 5 camp weeks will be first year campers from 5 different Boys & Girls Clubs. Here’s some camp highlights from the week. They were a great group with so much enthusiasm!
How can you protect something if you don’t feel connected or understand it? Our summer campers do water testing, take the 40 Gallon Water Challenge, use microscopes and other scientific equipment: hands-on, inquiry based learning. They learn to snorkel and kayak, participate in service learning through land, river and beach clean-ups, and get outdoors!
The UpStream DownStream Connection summer camps trace the path of fresh water to the coast.
World Water Day

World Water Day – March 22
I volunteered at a “Walk For Water” event on World Water Day. Participants walked 4 miles carrying 6 litres of water in a backpack. This was to create awareness of what so many people around the world do on a daily basis just to get water.
Camp Planning & Potluck
Over 40 people came to our camp planning and potluck gathering to discuss the 2012 Upstream Downstream Connection summer camps! I love that spirit of volunteerism!
