Water Heroes

About the Camp

We need Water Heroes to solve the water and energy problems of the future! How can we ensure that the next generation of people on our planet has access to clean water? How do we even know if water is clean or not? If water is polluted, how much energy do we need to clean it and where does that energy come from? In this camp, we will investigate sources of water pollution, explore creative methods for cleaning up water, and trace how everyday actions like driving a car and turning on the lights relate to access to clean water. Join Penn State faculty and students in this adventure that will include laboratory experiments that you design and field investigations of real water sources! This is a three-day camp (no camp on July 4th or 5th).
