When can I register for Nature School?
Registration for the 2024-2025 Nature School year will open February 12, 2024.

Can I schedule a tour of Nature School?
Yes! To schedule a tour please contact our Education Director, Sherrie Ripple.

Can I drop off my child at the front door of the building?
Because we take our responsibility for your child’s safety seriously, our protocol requires that an authorized adult sign each child in and out at the classroom door each day of camp.

How early can I drop off my child?
Classroom doors will open at 9 am. If you arrive earlier, you and your student can enjoy the activities in the Science Center Atrium until classroom doors open.

How do you handle peanut and other food allergies?
The snacks we provide in all classes every day are commercially produced and peanut free. Packaging with ingredient lists is available for your examination upon request. All students in full day classes are asked to bring a lunch that does not include any nut products. If you would prefer to have your child bring a snack from home that you know will meet his/her health needs, our teachers can readily accommodate that change in snack routine. 

Do you offer financial aid?
Limited Financial aid opportunities are available. If you are interested in applying, please fill out the Financial Aid form and email it to Sherrie Ripple, Director of Education, at sherrie@riverlegacy.org before you register.
