About this conference
Children's Water Festivals promote hands-on learning about water issues. The festival is geared towards 4th, 5th and 6th grade students and their teachers. Water resource professionals from Maine and New England provide presentations and activities about water, wetlands, human health and aquatic life. This experience is provided at no cost to participants and resources will be provided to participating schools.
