To that end <br />we have provided learning opportunities for elementary students with the Children's Water Festival and classroom visits, <br />to middle school students by participating in career fairs and science camps, and to high school students by hosting a week <br />long water science camps and sponsoring the Caring For Our Watershed contest. In 2011, C'CWCD became a host <br />institution for Project Wet, training teachers how to teach about water. For adults, we partnered in offering a aeriscape <br />workshop, mail out our Waterline newsletter to over 3 0,00 0 taxpayers, and spoke on 2 bus tours organized by the Colorado i a <br />Foundation For Water Education.
