Durham Children's
Watershed Festival

Launched as part of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority's (CLOCA's) 40th anniversary theme of water quality in 1998, the goal of the Durham Children's Watershed Festival (DCWF) is to increase awareness of Grade 4 students concerning water issues, motivating them to become water stewards in their home, classroom and community.

​

Held at Camp Samac (275 Conlin Road East, Oshawa), students can experience over 40 curriculum-connected learning centres, enjoying a day of fun, hands-on learning that helps increase their awareness about the importance of water conservation and the ecology of their watershed.

 

Admission: $12.50/student (bussing fees are covered by Festival sponsors)

Teaching staff and adult volunteers are FREE.

 

Bussing: The bus will arrive at your school between 9:30-9:45 a.m. and depart Camp Samac at 1:30 p.m. Payment and schedule will be arranged by the Festival Coordinator. Bus company contact information will be provided on your DCWF Date Confirmation sheet. 

 

Grade 4 classes from the four participating school boards will be booked for a day at the Festival on a first-come, first-served basis.
