UrbanTrekkers, the expeditionary learning program of UrbanPromise Ministries in Camden, New Jersey helped to bring a marine biology based afterschool program into the Camden Forward School for grades 6 - 8. In partnership with the American Littoral Society 14 students were part of a fourteen week program both in and outside the classroom with students building a salt water aquarium, visiting natural habitats of both fresh and salt water marine life. Students were also treated to a wonderful seafood dinner that they took part in preparing as well as the eating. They also learned of the relationship between Camden, the Delaware River, the Atlantic Ocean and themselves.
