ATHENS — The Athens-based river advocacy organization Georgia River Network is putting a new twist on the time-honored back-to-school “what I did on my summer vacation” essay tradition.
GRN is giving Georgia educators the chance to write their own summer vacation story by participating in Paddle Georgia 2024, a seven-day, 107-mile journey down the Altamaha River through the Paddle Georgia Educator’s Scholarship program. Along the way these educators will receive training in environmental education curriculum and Georgia Adopt-A-Stream water monitoring.
