Arizona Project WET's Alexander Prescott Helps Lead ASDM Earth Camp

July 10, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona Project WET’s (APW) Alexander Prescott helped lead Middle School Earth Camp at Tucson's Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM) last month. Earth Camp is a partnership between APW, the UA College of Science and the Planetary Science Institute. Twelve middleschool-aged campers took part in this year’s camp. 

Campers learned about hydrology, geology and dendrochronology on Mt. Lemmon, marine biology at ASDM, and surveyed hermit crabs at Biosphere 2. At the end of camp, each camper committed to reduce their community’s impact on the environment, from composting neighborhood food waste, to recycling used cardboard and organizing a neighborhood biking day.
