Explanation:
I reckon there's a comma missing after gimnasio. So that would leave the problem of "escuela de la naturaleza". How about school of Nature / Nature learning activities?

Asker: Hi Marjory, I guess I should have mentioned that this is a retirement community, in which case your suggestion would not work. I do, however, appreciate your willingness to help! Saludos!

gym, Nature Studies


Explanation:
agree comma missing after gym. Think no actual "school" building here but rather an interested group who may be given tutoring by expert or taken on fieldtrips. There is a list of the facilities and activities as a selling point for this housing so variety is important. a "school of " would make it seem like a 3rd level course so I'd omit "school"
