-Conducting field research, water chemistry testing and analysis, collecting macro-invertebrates and study their habitat.
-Learn how to use digital and video cameras
-Learn how to read maps and compass and use a GPS
-Make friends, have fun, sail on a 24 foot Santana or an E-Scow Sailboat and get wet
