Cost

Here’s everything you need to know about tuition and the support we offer to make your attendance possible.

Supply Fee

We have a Supply Fee for each kiddo. It’s typically around $15-$20 for each child. You will receive an itemized list as a “Supply Fee breakdown” at the beginning of each season. This allows families to know exactly what their money is going towards. Oftentimes, it allows us to buy the kids’ art supplies from Reuse Art Scraps in St. Paul, or it allows us to buy wood/dirt for the co-ops garden plots or seedlings. Each semester, every child gets a field guide for them to use in our activities.

Seasonal Fees

At the time of enrollment, each family will be sent an itemized calendar that includes dates and prices of each event. You have the option to decide which your family will participate in. If you choose to participate in them, you can use Venmo to pay the co-op, and then the co-op will mass purchase the tickets for each event. This allows us to get seats together at musicals, pay programs all at once when we tour places like the U, nature centers, banks, animal rescues, movie theaters, community gardens, etc. We aim to strike a balance with paid meetups to keep the co-op accessible.

Please note that these events heavily rely on attendance in order to happen. Once you register for the event and send money for the tickets, we will not be able to get refunds in the event that you are not able to make it.
