Kids in the Creek

Kids in the Creek is an award-winning environmental education program that lets kids wade in and get their hands wet. Each year, BPA works with hundreds of elementary students from across our region, teaching them how to recognize a healthy stream. Kids learn biology, as they learn to identify macroinvertebrates. They learn chemistry, as they test the water’s pH. They learn environmental science, as they scan stream banks for vegetation cover and other signs of healthy habitat. And they just have fun. Kids in the Creek is powered by BPA volunteers, partnerships with regional organizations, and by teachers. If you’d like information on bringing your class to a Kids in the Creek event, contact Christy Adams, or Cheri Benson.
