Homeschool & Flexible Learning Aboard the Floating Classroom
Take learning beyond the classroom and onto Lake Norman!
Catawba Riverkeeper invites homeschool families, co-ops, online students, and other flexible learners to join us aboard the Floating Classroom for a hands-on exploration of North Carolina’s largest lake.
Students and their families will explore water quality, aquatic ecology, wildlife, and the Catawba-Wateree River Basin while learning from Catawba Riverkeeper educators. Our 40-foot commercial vessel is equipped with microscopes, water-quality monitoring equipment, binoculars, and other tools that turn Lake Norman into a living laboratory.
These trips are designed to make environmental science engaging, accessible, and fun, while giving flexible-learning families an opportunity to learn and explore together.
When: First Tuesday of every month at 12:00 PM
Departure: Stutts Marina, 571 Stutts Road, Mooresville, NC
Cost: $28 per person
Who: Homeschool students, flexible learners, and their families
Come aboard, get curious, and discover the science happening right beneath the surface of Lake Norman!
We educate and advocate to protect the Catawba-Wateree River Basin’s lakes, rivers and streams for everyone who depends on and enjoys them.
