Ashley Ormsby, 10, Chapman Lakes (L) places a portion of her Crooked Creek water sample into a testing vessel during the Lake Science Camp held recently at Chapman Lakes. Madeline Scott, 11, West Lafayette, observes. The sample was being prepared for incubation to determine if E. coli exists. The day camp for pre-enrolled children 10 through 12 years old was held in the CLCA Clubhouse and at various field trip sites around Chapman Lakes. The enrollees sampled and tested water, learned basic aquatic plant identification through on-lake plant sampling, and observed watershed drain sediment pollution control methods. This is the first year for the educational event. Co-chairs and instructors for the camp were Leonard Draving, retired chemistry professor, and Dan Lee, CLCA board member, both of Chapman Lakes.[[In-content Ad]]
