Middle School Enrichment Mini-Series - Class A - Fall Registration - 2025-2026

Registration Opens May 13, 2025

Fall Class A - Water Wise: Drop by Drop: This exciting series will blend science, watershed and environmental awareness, and advocacy! We’ll conduct hands-on activities like building a mini watershed replica and tracing local water sources- starting at Irvine’s own headwater stream right on property as it flows to join the Jones Falls River. Exploring our personal and community water-use footprint(s) will empower us to think about real-world water conservation issues.

Cancellation Policy

CANCELLATION & WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Irvine reserves the right to cancel a program due to insufficient enrollment. If Irvine cancels a session, all fees will be fully refunded. If you remove your child from a session before it begins, membership fees are non-refundable, and the refunds are as follows:

# Days Before Session Starts

Refunded Amount

(minus a 10% processing fee)

21 or more days

50% of session fee

20-14 days

 25% of session fee

Irvine Nature Center’s Early Childhood Education programs strive for inclusion and access to all that seek to enroll. After careful consideration, our refund policies were created towards this end and are in place in order to ensure robust programming for our youngest learners and participants in nature.

INDIVIDUAL CLASS MAKE-UP POLICY

Each semester series has one contingency class scheduled for the end of the semester. The contingency class day will be used if Irvine needs to cancel class (for example due to weather or staff illness). Once it is used, there will not be another contingency day and no refund will be given for weather-related closures. Irvine will provide refunds for additional missed classes due to staff illness.

Earth Friends Semester Series

Please note, Irvine does not provide refunds for missed days due to travel or illness.

At this time, Irvine Earth Friends' programs do not have financial aid or scholarship opportunities. We do, however, in some instances, offer monthly payment plans.
