This program offers a unique, immersive 6-day expedition along the entire Schuylkill River, providing hands-on experience with real-world environmental issues and direct interaction with environmental professionals.
Schuylkill Acts & Impacts is a 6-day watershed expedition for high school students along the 120-mile Schuylkill River, from its headwaters to its confluence with the Delaware River. Participants engage in hands-on service-learning, fieldwork, and water sampling to understand the impact of land use on water quality. The program includes guided tours and interactive presentations with policymakers and planners. Students will gain practical experience in environmental science, data collection, and analysis, while also developing leadership and teamwork skills through collaborative activities like camping and kayaking. The expedition aims to inspire students to become active stewards of their local watersheds.
A typical day involves guided tours, fieldwork, water sampling, and interactive presentations, with evenings spent camping and sharing experiences around a campfire.
This program is ideal for high school students residing in Schuylkill, Berks, Chester, Montgomery, or Philadelphia counties who are committed to learning and interested in environmental studies or service projects.
