Texas River School Sponsorship

The Texas River School helps children develop valuable life skills and awareness of the fragility of all river systems. As children develop these interests, they may decide to choose a career in an environmental field. Sponsors support these efforts and ensure that children who participate in this program are given this unique opportunity to learn about their environment: how to protect, enjoy, and share with others.

The Texas River School makes a positive contribution to our community, funded entirely by your contributions. We depend on sponsors, people like you, to keep our work afloat.

Texas Parks and Wildlife recognized the value of the Texas River School program by awarding a $30,000 grant for the year 2002.  This grant enabled us to provide day trips for about 1,000 students, all at no cost to the students or to the school.  This competitive grant is awarded every two years. We are therefore developing additional financial support strategies and fundraising initiatives.

For more information or to make a tax-deductible contribution, please contact us.  Memberships to the Chautauqua Foundation are also available.  We encourage you to come along on a day trip and experience the adventure first hand!
