Approximately 140 students and 30 advisors from around the state attended the Connecticut Envirothon Aquatics Workshop hosted at the 皇冠app学院的康涅狄格河学院（CTRA） on January 17, one of several workshops in anticipation of the statewide student competition later this year. 参加者和主办者都对参加水上运动工作坊的人数表示欢迎。
“This is great,” Envirothon Steering Committee Chair Jeff Folger said. “We’ve had statewide competitions that weren’t this well attended.”
The aquatics workshop was held at CTRA after Bruce Morton, Goodwin College’s Environmental Studies Program Director, reached out to the organization to suggest the environmentally-themed magnet school’s facilities as a potential location for the event.
“The Connecticut River Academy is amazing,” Envirothon Aquatics Chair Kim Bradley said. “The facilities and personnel were incredible.” CTRA拥有大型科学实验室空间，并可直接通往康涅狄格河，为研讨会提供了完美的环境。 布拉德利说，游泳讲习班以前是在皇冠app学院的主楼举行的。
The Connecticut Envirothon is a natural resource-based education program started in 1992 by the state’s Soil and Water Conservation Districts, which brings together teams of high school students to participate in workshops related to the environment. 5月6日，参赛队伍将进行全天的实地比赛，并在专家小组面前进行口头陈述。 获胜的队伍将有机会参加今年夏天的北美环境锦标赛。
