OUR MISSION

The Children's Water Education Festival provides students with an engaging, hands-on opportunity to explore local water, science, and environmental topics aligned with Next Generation Science Standards.

Through interactive presentations and activities, students learn about the importance of water, science, and the role they can play in supporting their community and the environment today and for future generations. Each year, teachers return with their classes to participate in this unique educational experience.

CLASS REGISTRATION

Participation is limited and coordinated in advance.

Each teacher must register individually for their class and is encouraged to coordinate with their school administrators and other participating teachers before submitting registrations.

Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Once Festival capacity has been reached, additional teachers will be directed to register for the waitlist. Registration confirmations and waitlist notices will be sent electronically.

Early registration is strongly encouraged.

TEACHER RESOURCES

Consideration to participate in the Festival is dependent on each teacher's commitment to:

• Create an account and submit an online application for their class.
• Review the Festival Checklist prior to the event.
• Complete all required forms, permission slips, and preparations.
• Ensure students follow Festival guidelines and conduct themselves respectfully.

Failure to meet these requirements may affect eligibility for current or future participation.

We look forward to welcoming participating schools to the 2027 Children's Water Education Festival.
