Thursday’s camp brought
together volunteers from STEP,
the SWC and Rangers from
Honeyman State Park to provide
three separate learning stations
under the guidance of SWC
camp director Elizabeth Manley.
“It’s a great opportunity to
give kids of all ages a chance to
explore the watershed,” says
Manley, who explains that the
volunteers make it happen. “We
couldn’t do it without them and
the support of OWEB, WCLF,
our partnership with the
Siuslaw School District, and
through private donations.”
During the Intermediate
Camp, students in grades 4
through 6 are able to get on the
water to learn canoeing skills and
also have the chance to fish the
lake with STEP volunteers.
“Growing up in Bakersfield, I
never had access to anything like
this,” says Frankhouser. “Being
able to provide this kind fo expe-
rience for kids this age helps
teach them an understanding and
respect for nature.”
At a microscope, Phillips
zooms in on a macroinvertebrate
as Ryan Warren, an OSP Ranger
2, explains how to focus the lens
to view the tiny organism.
“Most people have no idea all
of this life is going on around
them in the macroscopic world,”
says Warren. “Hopefully, kids
will leave here with a better
understanding of nature and the
world around them that most
people never notice.”
The next camp, Intermediate
Camp, will take place July 11
through 14, for students enter-
ing grades 6 to 8.
The final camp will be July
18 through 22, for students
entering grades 8 to 12 with
previous watershed experience
Participants travel through-
out the Siuslaw watershed
learning about plants, animals,
water and land.
Camps focus on the restora-
tion work that is being done to
keep the watershed healthy.
