Hello Volunteer,

The 2026 Children's Water Education was held on April 15-16, 2026 at Oak Canyon Park (Silverado) and welcomed thousands of students for two days of hands-on learning about water and science. Thank you to all the volunteers who participated and helped make the event a success.

Planning is underway for the upcoming Festival. Volunteers are encouraged to submit the 2027 Interest Form to receive notifications as they are made available.

OUR MISSION AND VOLUNTEER RESOURCE

Since inception, more than 158,000 children from throughout Orange County have attended the award-winning Children's Water Education Festival, which is recognized nationally as the largest event of its kind. Its mission is to educate students about local water, science, and environmental topics that support Next Generation Science Standards.

The longevity and success of this award-winning event is the result of volunteer participation from individuals and groups who understand the value and importance of community involvement. We hope you will join us for next year's Festival and volunteer your time for this worthwhile cause. If you know of others who may be interested in volunteering, please forward this information to them. Groups are also welcome.

Thank you for your support. We truly appreciate your commitment and your time;
the Festival would not be possible without individuals like you.
