Wood Lake Nature Center tries to maintain a 1:15 ratio of naturalists to students, so 15 students may register for every naturalist available to teach the class.  Because of limited staff and teaching space, registering early is recommended.

Sibling Policy: If children younger than 5 are brought with to the class, they should either be paid for as one of the students and participate with the class or be kept separate so as not to disturb the students. If non-students need to be watched in a separate area, please arrange for at least 1 parent for every 4 students to be available to assist with the class in its entirety.
Parent/Guardian Policy: Wood Lake Nature Center strives to provide fun and educational joint-learning experiences for both teachers and students. Being the children's primary educator, we expect parents to participate and assist with each class.

Cancellation Policy: Because Wood Lake Nature Center classes are typically full, please call if you know you're not able to attend so that people on the wait list may be let into the class, and so that staff can have a correct number of supplies ready.
