It is always great to be able to give back to our local community and school systems. Thanks to a grant awarded to Camp ASCCA by the Alabama Forestry Association, we were able to do just that on April 17 and 18. Council Middle School 5th graders, from Dadeville, were the benefactors of the grant as they participated in Science Camp activities, one half of the class visited on Tuesday and the other half on Wednesday.
Activities included the award winning Project Learning Tree, which is a program developed by the American Forest Foundation, and hands on learning at our Dunn Environmental Center. The student campers were also able to get out on the waters of Lake Martin and learn about water testing. They tested water clarity, ph levels, temperature, and dissolved oxygen levels. Lastly, all students were able to try their hand climbing the cargo net, one of camp’s high adventure activities.
Everyone had a super time and learned a great deal about our environment and issues related to the environment. When the grant is completed in October we hope to have served all 5th grade students in Tallapoosa County.
