Could you survive in the woods by yourself? What about just a weekend camping trip? Come learn how to start a fire, tie knots, pitch a tent. We'll also study different survival techniques like edible plants, safe water, and some basic first-aid skills. There will even be a chance to cook a treat outside. What better way to spend part of your summer than learning how to survive outdoors and having fun while doing it?
The Circle School is a Texan by Nature conservation partner.
The San Antonio River Foundation's summer camps at Confluence Park explore aspects of the natural environment and artistic process through daily projects, nature walks, community visits and artistic creations. This year, camps are offered for students ages 7-9 and 10-13.
Each day, students will learn about a different theme tied into the ecosystem of the river, park, and the communities that we live in. Much of the day will be spent making artwork that reflects our interest in the natural world. We will sculpt draw, and paint, work together and individually; learn to look and pay attention to things we may have overlooked before. Students should expect to spend time by the river and walking outside.

This class is good for those looking to "dip their toes" in rainwater harvesting. If you decide to learn more, our “Rainwater Harvesting: Medium to Large Scale” class is a GREAT follow up to this one, to be scheduled in Fall 2026.
