Notes: Homeschool 6th – 8th This class is for children studying at a 6-8th grade level. Parents may choose to attend with their students or may drop enrolled students off. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before start time to check in and prepare for class. Pack a backpack with: • Full (and refillable) WATER BOTTLE for each person.

Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants are always recommended. Most of each class will be held out in the field among tall grasses, thorny plants, and biting insects. Respect wildlife. The City of Lewisville protects wildlife and their native habitats. Please respect the animals and plants at all times. We ask all visitors to Leave No Trace: Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories, kill nothing but time. Outdoor programs are often at locations with no running water. Be prepared to use our clean portable toilets if necessary. Regarding cancellations: We rarely cancel programs except for heavy rain or lightning. In case of cancellation, staff will contact you and you will receive a refund. If you fail to show up for a program that was not canceled, there is no refund.
