Event Description:

Fifth-graders from throughout Eagle County who attend public and private schools or receive homeschool education gather at a common location for a day full of all things water.  When the event started back in 2019, it was part of the Eagle Valley Outdoor Movement – a coalition that breaks down the barriers of outdoor recreation – with the goal to teach our young students about local rivers and streams and inspire a curiosity for nature. Students learn all about water through hands-on exploratory activities. Activities include fly fishing, water safety, macro-invertebrate searching, and how water treatment works. Each student visits 5 stations throughout the day and local community experts lead each station.
