NEW SPLASH Video: "Nature Abounds!"

What is SPLASH?

How did SPLASH get its name?
SPLASH stands for: Student Participation in Learning Aquatic Science & History
For over ten years, the SPLASH Steamboat Floating Classroom has delighted school and adult groups with 2 hour educational sails on the beautiful Delaware River in Lambertville, NJ. Younger students  learn in a “hands-on” way about our watershed and ways to protect it; the importance of “river critters” (macroinvertebrates); the chemistry of the river and the balance needed to sustain life; the environmental history of the Delaware River through the local hero the American Shad. 
​Each trip is a great opportunity to see wildlife - perhaps a bald eagle, cormorants, water snakes, blue herons. Students of all ages see first-hand “America’s First Great Invention” - the steamboat , as shared with them by the ship engineer. And, from the river, the history of our unique region comes alive – a crossing spot of the Continental Army, the homes and subjects of the New Hope Impressionists, the Bucks County Playhouse, a real shad fishery, the canals and the crossing point for canal boats, and much more. 

Thank You to our Sponsors
