Since 1999, the Lake Roosevelt Water Festival has rung in the school year for upper elementary students in the Upper Columbia. Taking place at Kettle Falls swim beach and Sherman Creek fish hatchery, the festival went into hibernation in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID.

But the Festival came back strong in September as agency volunteers gave kids the gift of touching and doing to learn about the environment around them. This two minute video from WDFW is a wonderful way to share their joy and experience. 

A big thank you to agencies and tribes for making this happen:  Colville Confederated Tribes, National Park Service, National Weather Service Spokane, Spokane Tribe of Indians, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service.
