Register here.
Ages and Themes:
Frogs (Ages 5-6): Bugs and Blooms
What kind of habitat do different insects prefer? What kind of flower smells like a grape popsicle? We’re celebrating the wonderful worlds of plants and arthropods as we welcome the start of Spring.
Salamanders (Ages 7-8): Nature Detectives
Are all rocks solid inside? What are some signs of creatures that lived here millions of years ago? How can we tell what an owl had for dinner last night? Nature is full of clues about the life all around us and we’re playing detective this week!
Pathfinders (Ages 9-10): Trail Trekking
Lace up your hiking shoes because we’re hitting the trails this week! Each day we’ll visit a different state park or nature preserve to hike among trees, hills, falls, and more.
Cancellation and Refunds
Program attendance is the responsibility of the participant. Failure to attend a class does not entitle a participant to a transfer, makeup, prorate or refund. Substitutions, including family members, are not permitted. Registrations cancelled at least 7 days prior to the first day of class may be issued a refund, minus a $40 non-refundable deposit per class and a $35.00 processing fee per transaction. No refunds are issued for registrations that are cancelled without 7 days advanced written notice of the first day of camp. Refunds will be applied to outstanding balances before funds are released. Refunds are issued to the charging credit card, or by check from the City of Austin (please allow 4-6 weeks for processing). You may request to have the refund applied to your account as a household credit. All checks sent to ANSC must be processed. There is a $25 cash fee on all returned checks. Should you need to cancel your camp, please email anscprograms@austintexas.gov with the name and age of the camper and the date(s) you need to cancel.
Deposits
All deposits are non-refundable. A $40 deposit per session will secure a place until three weeks (21 days) prior to the first day of camp. If you fail to pay the remaining balance, you will lose your deposit and forfeit your child's place in that session to another child on the waiting list. You are encouraged to make full payment at registration to avoid missing deadlines and losing your childs place in camp. Full payment is the responsibility of the participant.
