Register Now for "A Day at the C.R.E.E.K." -
Creative & Recreational Environmental Education for Kids
Registration is open for the HIwassee River Watershed Coalition's 2011 C.R.E.E.K. summer day long camp program. The mission of C.R.E.E.K. is to educate middle school age youth about basic water quality science information, encourage the application of environmentally sound practices, and promote career opportunities in the sciences. Each camp is oriented near a stream or river so that students may have hands on experience conducting water quality experiments, identifying native plants, and observing and cataloguing native fish populations.

July 28, 2011: Meeks Park, Blairsville GA
