Held September 19th and 20^th, over 440 3rd – 5th grade students from 11 schools gathered at the Kettle Falls Swim Beach area and Sherman Creek Hatchery to participate in this fall’s Festival. 

Students and teachers were greeted by area agencies, tribes and other natural resource managers manning 15 interactive learning stations. As students rotated through, their knowledge of Lake Roosevelt and the watershed grew.

Said one teacher, “Thank you for another wonderful Lake Roosevelt Water Festival! The students really enjoyed their experience, and I overheard a few students say, 'This is the best field trip I've ever been on!'”

A big thank you to Forum partners and volunteers for making this happen: Avista, Colville Confederated Tribes, Colville High School, Ferry Conservation District, National Park Service, National Weather Service Spokane, Spokane Tribe of Indians, Stevens Conservation District, U.S. Forest Service, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
