This 5 day outdoor camp will be an inspiring week of exploring the wonders and power of the magical molecule that is water. We will begin by investigating and observing the hydrological cycle, discover where our water comes from, observe first hand water's power to shape and carve mountains, valleys, and streams, and provide the key to life for people, animals and our big blue planet at large! Over the course of the week, campers will create their own models of the hydrological cycle, learn how to test water quality, survey watersheds for ecological health and resilience, engage in water design challenges, and raise awareness about UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Campers will also become youth leaders in storm and flood preparedness while we learn flood protection skills through fun activities, workshops, crafts, and games. The days are filled with an engaging fun-filled program that combines lots of time for exploring the wilderness and safely experiencing nature, exciting thrill and chill games and activities, as well as skill development and team-building activities to encourage empowerment, leadership, confidence building and playfully learning new practical skills. 

The camp will be delivered by our experienced and knowledgeable Genvironment educators, CPYC Youth Volunteer Leaders and Genvironment's Youth Leadership Team (age 14-17).
