STREAM Girls employs STEM-education (science, technology, engineering, math) plus recreation and arts to explore a local stream. By visiting a local stream (Rock Creek) and having the opportunity to observe it as scientists, anglers, and artists, girls will get the complete picture of what their local stream could mean to them.
The program is open to ALL girls ages 11 to 14 years old.
Over the course of multiple sessions, OBTU volunteers will lead the participants in observing a stream, sampling macroinvertebrates, fly tying, fly casting, and fishing. The program also gives the girls time to explore the natural area and record their thoughts and observations in their handbooks.
Please bring shoes that can get wet: wellies (rubber boots), Crocs or similar footwear. We will provide hip boots for those who wish to wear waders. Feel free to bring a change of socks, shoes, etc. if you wish. Equipment is provided by Oak Brook Chapter Trout Unlimited.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, contact Annie Vitti (information below) or visit Kankakee River State Park Visitor’s Center to register.
