2024 STREAM Keepers for Youth Ages 11 to 14 at North Park
May 4 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
A free outdoor watershed program for all youth ages 11 to 14 sponsored by Penn’s Woods West Trout Unlimited.
This free STEAM-based program is designed to teach STEM and the Arts through an action-packed day at a local stream. Youth will leave with a better understanding of what makes a stream healthy and maybe catch a fish or two as well!
Activities include:
Stream Walk: Walk the stream to learn what makes it a great place to wade and fish
Race rubber duckies to determine stream flow and current
Bug Hunt: Hunt and identify macro-invertebrates to determine stream health
Scavenger Hunt: Put it all together with a scavenger hunt to collect beads for a bracelet or lanyard
Tie It/Cast It/Fish It!: See if you can catch a wily trout or bass with a fly you tied yourself (Parents/Guardians invited to join in the fun!)
