2019 will be our 17th year. From July 15 to 19, campers will explore rivers in the Potomac Headwaters, travel down the watershed to the mouth of the Potomac River just above the Chesapeake Bay at Westmoreland State Park, VA. Spend two nights and three days camping and discovering this beautiful region. If you register before May 31st you get a discount on your registration. Download a brochure with all the details.

This program was initially funded by the USEPA, and later by the MARPAT Foundation, WV Conservation Agency, and our members. We now have thirteen years of engaging West Virginia middle and high school students in week long explorations of stream science.
Our Scholars enjoy exploration of stream science that includes exciting canoeing or boating, and engaging with professionals in the fields of conservation, environmental science, and ecology. Stream Scholars has a three-year rotation of camping at different locations. Scholars who attend three years in a row will camp at Spruce Knob, the highest peak in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and Point Lookout (MD) and Westmoreland State Park (VA) where the Potomac river meets the Chesapeake Bay. On the Virginia trip, Scholars stop in D.C. to meet their elected officials and tour the Capital.
