Summer Camps & Fall Programs

Don't delay in making your summer or fall plans! You can register online NOW for all of River Legacy Living Science Center's engaging and exciting educational programs!
River Legacy Living Science Center has a variety of weeklong summer classes in June & July that are sure to beat those summertime boredom blues (and your students may even learn something too!) Age-appropriate classes for preschoolers to elementary students explore wildlife, science, ecology and the environment.
Outdoor Adventure Camps for grades K-6 provide tons of outdoor fun all in the setting of the best classroom on Earth - NATURE. An Extreme Outdoor Adventure for grades 7th & 8th will have your students kayaking, hiking, and rock climbing while learning some valuable outdoor skills.
This unique preschool enrichment program gives children ages 3 to 6 a natural place to learn, play and grow where lessons venture outside the classroom and into nature. Nature School provides small, enriching classroom environments, captivating live animals, nature walks, story times, art and dramatic play. Half day and extended day options are available, as well as a two-day-a-week program on Tuesdays & Thursdays for 4-year-olds. An engaging and advanced curriculum for children ages 5 to 6 is held on Fridays and is a great supplement to Mother's Day Out, alternative kindergarten programs, and home school.
Enrich your science curriculum using the abundant resources of River Legacy Park and River Legacy Living Science Center. Classes explore the plant and animal life of River Legacy Park through outdoor nature walks, live animals, specimens and more. Classes meet once a month on selected Wednesdays from 2 to 4 pm September through April (except December).
Students in grades K-6th explore the plants, animals and habitats of a riparian forest in the middle of the Metroplex during fun and engaging After-School Clubs. From trees, to frogs to the weather, a different topic is explored each month and sometimes includes a field trip or off-site visit. Clubs meet once a month on selected Tuesdays from 4:15 to 6:15 pm September through April (except December).
