Fridays on the Hill

Regina Mater is pleased to announce the first Catholic ecology and outdoor education enrichment program in Austin. The class will meet at our Maryhill location in northeast Travis county on Friday mornings, 9:30-11:30. Students in PK3-8 are welcome to join the Friday class.

Topics will include:

  • Botany

  • Agriculture

  • Outdoor skills

  • Nature journaling

  • and more…

…all within a prayerful Catholic family atmosphere inspired by St. Benedict and Sacred Scripture.

Classes will break into multi-age pods with opportunities for older students to be leaders in the group. Adult volunteers, EIM certified, will ensure safety and promote attentive behavior. We ask that parents of Pk3-K stay on campus for safety. Children with special needs that may impact their safety and wellbeing in a high adventure environment are welcome with parent partnership. Our goal is for everyone to have a rewarding experience.

Like other “forest school” concepts, classes will be rain or shine, with cancellation for severe weather only. There are 14 scheduled classes for fall and spring. Families are invited to attend the Christmas nativity play and party.

Tuition rates:

1 Student - $20 registration + $200 per semester, paid up front.

2 Students - $40 registration + $400 per semester. Payment plan: $220 paid up front, $220 due second month.
