Available RIVER CAMP! 2.0 Virtual Classroom Presentations

The San Antonio River Authority’s Education Department is proud to offer a variety of hands-on and impactful virtual presentation topics from which teachers can select (limit one grade level per school per year). We are happy to schedule virtual classroom presentations on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday for K-12 students in Bexar, Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad counties. Teachers are expected to be a part of the experience with supervision and direction. TEKS alignments for all presentations are available upon request. We are currently scheduling presentations for January through May 2021 only. We will reevaluate our ability to offer in-person programming for later in the semester as public health recommendations and guidelines evolve.

Select presentations have the option of being more interactive with free individual student activity kits, but we require teacher commitment to help assemble and distribute these kits to their students. More information about the presentations and optional kits can be found in the request form below.

River Authority presentations are popular. Here is how it works:

In order to provide equal opportunity for all public school districts throughout Bexar, Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad Counties one grade level per school and up to 3 schools per district will be considered per year. Additional schools within a district wishing to participate will be placed on a waiting list and will be contacted if slots become available.
Homeschool groups and private schools are eligible for one visit per year.
All requests are evaluated on a first-come-first-serve basis and are accepted at the discretion of the River Authority.
Please fill out a Virtual Classroom Presentation Request Form below. River Authority staff will contact you within a weeks’ time regarding the request.
