Indy Water Connection Camp: Explore, Learn, Lead
The Indy Water Connection Camp is a transformative 4-day summer day camp designed to connect teens (ages 13-18) with the natural wonders of the White River. Students will gain confidence in navigating watercraft, learn water safety, and explore environmental science—all while having fun and building leadership skills.
What Students Can Expect:
· Hands-On Watercraft Training: Learn how to paddle, guide, and navigate rafts with confidence and skill.
· On-Water Education: Dive into lessons on local ecology, plant and animal species, water quality, and how these impact both human and environmental health.
· Indiana Waterway History: Explore our waterways’ history, including stories from diverse perspectives, to better understand the deep connections between people and nature.
· Leadership Opportunities: From organizing a final rafting expedition to sharing experiences with families and local leaders, students build teamwork and public speaking skills.
· Environmental Stewardship: Participate in land stewardship activities like trash pickups and learn from community partners about environmental justice and conservation careers.
This camp isn’t just about fun on the water—it’s about empowering the next generation of advocates for the White River and inspiring future leaders in outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship.
Join us in creating unforgettable memories and lifelong connections to nature!
