Water Festivals

What is a water festival?

 

A water festival is a celebration and educational event focused on water and other natural resources.  During a water festival our staff and volunteers will come to your school and present highly interactive, hands-on activities with your students. 

 

Festivals are typically set up out side in the early fall or spring, but can also be set up inside during the winter. 

 

Students, in groups of 10-20 travel around the festival to a new activity typically every 20 minutes. 

 

One of the best things about our water festivals is there are no field trip fees- we come to you!

 

Below is a sample schedule to show how easily 80 students could participate in 4 activities in just over 90 minutes.
