Penn State Extension Hosts Soak Up Science - Be A Stream Doctor Day Camp For Youth 8-12 July 29 To Aug. 1 At The Southeast Agricultural Research Farm In Centre County

Youth aged 8 to 12 are invited to join Penn State Extension to
Soak up Science and Be a Stream Doctor at Penn State’s Southeast Agricultural Research Farm in Millheim, Centre County from July 29 to August 1 where they will learn how they can be Stream Doctors.

The camp will follow the theme of Penn State Extension’s new children’s book, Brooke Meets a Stream Doctor featuring Dr. Watt R Shedd.

Campers will learn about the environment, water resources management, and complete a stream study in Dellinger Run. 

Activities include Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences focused on the water cycle and watersheds; physical, biological, and chemical stream studies; what constitutes a healthy stream; and participate in a service project.

The event will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily.

The cost for registration is $175 per camper, which includes daily snacks, and all activity materials.

Participants should pack a non-refrigerated lunch and a water bottle each day. They should also wear weather-appropriate clothing as we will be outside for the duration of camp, sun protection, a hat, and bug spray (if preferred). Wear shoes that can get wet or pack waterproof boots for stream activities.
