STREAM ECOLOGY ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS THIS WEEKEND

Creek Freaks Program Leaders Training

May 14-15, 2011

Terry Redlin Environmental Center in Watertown, SD



Have you always wanted to start an outdoor education program but don’t
know where to start? Are you looking for exciting hands-on activities
for an existing youth program? Have you been looking for a way to
share your love of the outdoors with kids in your community? We have
the answer – attend the Creek Freaks Program Leaders training!

Creek Freaks are middle school students making a splash to help the
environment. Each session takes students outside to explore local
streams and learn how healthy trees, shrubs, and grasses protect clean
water and wildlife. Students are then empowered as local stream
experts and are encouraged to continue advocating for and working to
improve water quality.


The training will include a basic overview of stream ecology, guidance
on how to manage the logistics of conducting on-going youth programs,
and hands-on training in conducting activities from the Holding Onto
the GREEN Zone Action Guide.
