Our K-12 programs are derived from the research happening on Lake Champlain and the current freshwater stressors facing the Lake Champlain basin. Our programs are facilitated by Watershed Educators, trained undergraduate students pursuing a degree in environmental science and/or education. Our current program offerings are listed below. These are subject to change based on current research.

World Water Day
Join the Champlain Basin Education Initiative for World Water Day 2021! Each year, we collect student work from across the Lake Champlain basin that celebrates water. On Tuesday, March 23rd, 2021, we will gather virtually to view the submission gallery and hear from an invited speaker about local and global water issues. Awards will be presented at the event. View submission examples.
