SCRANTON — For the first year in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania American Water, in partnership with the Lackawanna River Corridor Association (LRCA), announced the company’s annual Wonderful World of Water Camp will be held Aug. 3 through 5 at the Valley Community Library, Peckville. The camp is offered free to children of Pennsylvania American Water customers.

The Wonderful World of Water Day Camp provides an opportunity for area children to enjoy outdoor fun while learning about water. Day campers ages 7 to 11 will explore watershed basics, learn how human activity on the land affects the quality of water in rivers and streams and discover solutions to water pollution. Campers will also learn about the importance of watershed protection along the banks of the Lackawanna River.
