On Wednesday, March 1, 2006 Camp ASCCA will seve as a training site for persons interested in learning how to teach or assist in teaching the “Living Streams” program. Dr. Bill Deutsch of the Auburn University Department of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures will be conducting the training.
The “Living Streams” program is basically an adaptation of bioassessment training done by Dr. Deutsch at Auburn. Lake Watch of Lake Martin (www.lakewatch.org) coined the phrase “Living Streams” and was the group responsible for bringing this program to Camp ASCCA. Campers are able to assess the water quality of a stream by the presence or absence of certain macroinvertebrates or “bugs”. This is a highly popular program and an integral part of the environmental education program and Science Camps at ASCCA. Presently all sessions conducted at ASCCA are taught by volunteers of the Lake Watch organization.
The professional staff of Camp ASCCA will go through the training as well as those interested in helping out at the camp in future programs. This will give Camp ASCCA some flexibility in being able to serve more groups in the future and not entirely rely on availability of Lake Watch volunteers.
The training will go from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and lunch will be provided at no cost. Participates can expect to have a great time and get their feet wet so come prepared! Contact Josh Rhodes or Tom Collier at Camp ASCCA (256-825-9226) to reserve a spot or for more details.
Located in Alabama on Lake Martin, Camp ASCCA offers campers a wide variety of traditional recreational and educational activities with a unique design for accessibility.
