Over 950 Students Attend Lake Adventure Days
WINONA LAKE — More than 950 fourth grade students are learning about lakes and streams at the annual Lake Adventure Days this week! For many students, this is the first time they have ever seen a lake up close.
During each Lake Adventure Day, fourth-graders go to a local lake and get to go fishing, do water testing, build their own watersheds, compete in games to learn not to waste water and make a nature journal. All of these activities help students understand at a young age that their everyday actions can impact lakes and streams.
Grace College education students teach each lesson to attending fourth grade students as they rotate from activity to activity. This event helps in training and giving experience to the future generation of STEM educators and teachers.
Schools that participated in Lake Adventure Days include Akron Elementary, Claypool Elementary, Eisenhower Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, Leesburg Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Milford Elementary, North Webster Elementary, Syracuse Elementary, Triton Elementary, Warsaw Christian, Washington STEM Academy and homeschool students.
Sponsors of this year’s event include Bart’s Water Sports, City of Warsaw, Dekko Foundation, DePuy Synthes, Warsaw Kiwanis Club, Louis Dreyfus Company, Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners, Warsaw Breakfast Optimist Club, The Papers, Inc. and Zimmer Biomet.
