The Welty Environmental Center is happy to announce that we will be co-hosting a three-day aquatic science camp for middle and high school girls with Hendricks CareerTek this summer!

Muddy Waters STEMinist Camp will empower young women to investigate many facets of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through the lens of water science. Over the course of this week, campers will get their feet wet to collect chemistry and freshwater macroinvertebrate data to study causes and propose solutions to water quality issues. They will also engage with local female water scientists and learn more about these careers.

Campers gain confidence in their science skills, learn more about the quality and health of the Rock River, and have a better understanding of how they can make a difference in their world.

Participants must bring old shoes for use in the water, a change of clothes, a towel, and a plastic bag for wet and dirty items as we will be exploring wetlands!
