June 2003

 

June 23 - 25, Currents of the Juniata - A Watershed and Conservation Workshop for Educators, Juniata College, PA. Discover one of Pennsylvania's premier rivers and its watershed, learn how humans have interacted with the river and helped shape its ecology, conduct stream and lake studies by canoe and boat, and explore Raystown Lake and the surrounding watershed environ. We'll complement field studies with the introduction of resources, lesson plans and activities for use in your own classroom curriculum. At week's end, you'll venture home with newfound inspiration and plenty of ideas for helping your own students discover their local watershed. The workshop content will be geared for middle school teachers but content is adaptable for K- 12, and all educators (formal and nonformal) are invited to attend. There is a tuition of $360, which includes meals, shared accommodations, outdoor equipment, instructional materials and ACT 48 continuing education credits.
