Educators from Kettle Creek Environmental Education Center will lead a snorkeling exploration of McMichael Creek near Snydersville from 10:30 a.m. to noon June 16.

Snorkeling a creek is one of the best possible ways to learn about our local natural world. The program gives children and their parents a chance to get to know the freshwater world, a bug’s-eye and fish-eye view, by snorkeling local creeks.

Children will be introduced to stream ecology, such as what bugs can tell us about how pure creek water is, what small fish need to survive, and how underwater plants contribute to stream health. The program is geared to children from kindergarten through seventh grade, but people of all ages are welcome, including parents and older and younger siblings. Snorkeling gear will be provided. Snorkelers should wear bathing suits and water shoes or old sneakers and bring towels and a change of clothing.

Meet at McMichael Creek near Snydersville. The program is free, but registration is required and limited.
