Information
The Haw River Learning Celebration is a field trip to the Haw River for fourth graders each fall. Since we began the program in 1990, over 48,000 students have participated. Schools attend one of our three locations in Chatham, Alamance, and Rockingham counties and spend a day doing activities along the river, enjoying a picnic lunch and puppet show. The Learning Celebration in 2024 will take place between September 21 through October 11.
Over the years, so many volunteers and HRA staff have given their hearts, hands, and spirits to the continual creation of the Haw River Learning Celebration. Some come for a day, others join our “river camp” and set up a tent for the week. We have connected over 48,000 fourth-grade students to our beautiful river with the help of these amazing volunteers. Students experience activities where they observe, explore, and discover the life of the river and forest, learn how to protect the river, and use art to observe the natural world.
Preparing For The Haw River Learning Celebration
Come join us for an inspiring and fun day (or week) by the Haw River to volunteer as a guide – we provide the training! We also need volunteers to help with weekend field site set-ups and break- downs (Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon) and to cook meals. You can help as well by making a donation to support our Crowdfunder for this wonderful program. Help celebrate our watershed community’s dedication, and share in the excitement for the 2024 Haw River Learning Celebration.
