  • Description of the Brodhead Watershed
    Brodhead Watershed Conservation Plan Description of the Brodhead Watershed Physical Setting of the Brodhead Watershed The plan area encompasses the Brodhead Creek watershed from the creek’s confluence with the Delaware River to its headwater sources in northern Monroe County and Greene Township, Pike County, including its major tributaries: Marshall’s Creek, Paradise Creek, Pocono Creek, and McMichael Creek. The Brodhead watershed covers about 285 square miles, extending from Barrett Township and Mount Pocono in the north to Brodheadsville in the west to the Delaware River. The watershed is nearly as wide from east to west as it is long from north to south. The highest elevations (approx. 2,000 feet above mean sea level) are found in the northern and northwestern part of the watershed. Streams flow generally southeastward from the plateau to the relatively low-lying southeastern portion of the watershed. The Brodhead Creek feeds directly into the Delaware River at approximately 300 feet above sea level about two miles north of the Delaware Water Gap. The watershed consists mostly of forested and recreation land in its headwater areas and around most of its tributaries, with urbanization increasing downstream. The Boroughs of Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg, with a combined population of 60,000, are located at the base of the main stem, approximately three miles upstream of the Brodhead’s confluence with the Delaware River. The Brodhead Creek provides potable drinking water to over 20,000 people in the Stroudsburg area. Political Boundaries The Brodhead watershed is located almost entirely within Monroe County, northeastern Pennsylvania, with a small portion of its northern reaches spilling over into Pike County.

So says science and the Dalai Lama — and the lifeblood of ACA, dedicated camp staff and volunteers, are taking that to heart and making a positive difference in the lives of children and young adults across the US and beyond. The empathy and genuine concern modeled at camp and fostered in the campers are steps toward a brighter future for all. Campers are living proof that the acts of kindness and intentional learning camp staff and volunteers are offering through day and overnight camp experiences are having a lasting, positive impact within the camp environment, in surrounding communities, and especially in the lives of the children they serve. Our camp professionals (camp directors, camp counselors, and other staff) and the camp experience itself change lives. We provide opportunities for campers to learn about themselves, develop character, make lifelong friends, gain crucial 21st-century skills — responsibility, communication, creativity, collaboration, initiative, leadership, the list goes on — and implement all of this into their daily lives. Parents often tell us that their child changes for the good after camp. They come home with a more positive attitude and self- confidence.
