We have another exciting opportunity for our older Girl Scouts. Stream Girls features brand-new activities and adventures at Camp Evelyn. This theme is meant for girls who love to go on outdoor adventures.
If you haven't read it yet, here is the description:
STREAM Girls is Trout Unlimited’s watershed STEM program for girls that builds confidence and breaks down barriers in science and the outdoors. Through the eyes of a scientist, artist, and angler, girls make a personal connection to their home waters. Trout Unlimited volunteers lead girls in observing a stream, collecting flow data, sampling macroinvertebrates (aka aquatic bugs), fly tying, and fly casting. Each day also gives the girls time to intimately explore their natural surroundings and record their thoughts, feelings, and observations in their handbooks.
We are excited to share a sneak peek of the schedule for the Stream Girls program. Here is a look at Monday's schedule:
After breakfast, campers will meet their instructors and go over the daily schedule. The first activity on the agenda is a unit on macroinvertebrates. Campers will take a look at the health of our river through water sampling.
After a break for lunch, campers will experience Fly Tying 101. During this unit, they will learn to how to tie flys for their fishing adventure.
The remainder of the afternoon will include a STREAM scavenger hunt, making water identification bracelets, and determining the flow of the river.
In the evening, campers will have the opportunity to participate in some classic camp activities such as tie-dye and swimming. There will also be plenty of time for showers!
The remainder of the week will focus on fishing skills and the last day will include a field trip to a local fish farm where campers will have the opportunity to put their skills to the test.
