Schuylkill Acts and Impacts for High School Students

Schuylkill Acts & Impacts is a weeklong service-learning program that will be offered to a team of ten high school students from communities within the Schuylkill River Watershed. This expedition will involve a physical journey (by boat and van) along the 120-mile Schuylkill River from its headwaters in the anthracite coal lands of Schuylkill County to its confluence with the Delaware River in Philadelphia. Team leaders from Outward Bound Philadelphia and the Schuylkill Headwaters Association will guide students downriver, illustrating an array of issues impacting water quality in the Schuylkill River through guided tours, programming, and applied service work designed to highlight issues in the watershed and offer hands-on solutions to these problems.
