If this is your first time scheduling a group for the Environmental Discovery and Adventure program please set up an account after reading through the material on this page at our online group registration site.

We open our calendar for the upcoming school year in late March of the previous year and are typically 90% booked by April. We are always 100% booked by the start of any school year. On occasion, however, cancellations do occur and a waiting list is kept, if you are interested. Small groups, less than 44 students can sometimes be scheduled on the same day as another small group. Please email us with these requests at elmfork@unt.edu if our calendar is booked.

Setting up an Account:

1. Select the "create an account" button to the right of the login and password boxes.
2. Please provide as much information as possible. We realize that enrollment numbers are constantly changing so please estimate a little high.
3. Once you have created an account you will be able to login and access our calendar. The calendar will indicate the status of each day. It will list if the day is available or booked and if there are any restrictions to who may book that day.

In order to be as equitable as possible to our founding school district partners and all other districts we attempt to fairly distribute the days available to schools in districts other than Denton or Lewisville.

Helpful Hints in Date Selections:

• Fall semester may not be best for kindergarten or first grade.
• Fridays are always the most popular and October and April book immediately.
• Our program runs rain or shine, hot or cold. We do the best we can to adapt to the weather conditions but much of the program has to take place outside.
• School calendars are incredibly complex please check your teacher work day, early release and holiday schedule before selecting a day.
• Completing the pre-visit lesson prior to your visit will help ensure that your students have the best possible experience while at the Elm Fork Education Center. The less review our instructors have to do, the more time the students will have to participate in the discovery activities.
