Camp Activities

In the classroom setting, you will learn about ecology, types of air and water pollution, and waste-treatment processes.

In the field, you will gain experience with Indiana tree identification and first-hand knowledge of waste treatment and disposal.

In the lab, you will gain skills with pipette handling, extraction, sample monitoring and data analysis of pollutants in water and air.

The emphasis of the camp is to familiarize students with environmental issues so students can engage in community discussions and develop solutions to problems.
