FLOATING CLASSROOM
All aboard the Floating Classroom!
Catawba Riverkeeper is proud to teach students of all ages about their watershed aboard the Floating Classroom!
Participants will learn about local water quality, ecology, wildlife, history, and environmental stewardship while on Lake Norman! Instead of just looking at pictures and maps, students get to experience the Catawba River firsthand.
The Floating Classroom program will operate out of Davidson College's Lake Campus on Lake Norman in Mooresville, NC.
Our education program offerings booklet will be available soon. Click here to be added to the list to receive information.
Special thanks to our donors who contributed to the buildout of the impressive 12 ft. x 40 ft., tri-toon with twin 150 horsepower engines!
You can support the Floating Classroom by donating here. Donations will cover the costs of additional education supplies, safety equipment, and scholarships for participants who otherwise couldn't afford this opportunity.
