Homeschool Nature Program
Weekly outdoor science + nature adventures for homeschoolers ages 7–12.
A Classroom Without Walls
Each week we explore forests, ponds, and meadows - using nature itself as our curriculum. Kids learn science skills, build confidence outdoors, and follow their curiosity.
Hands-On Science
Small Group Community
Kids explore ecosystems, track animals, test ideas, and learn by doing.
A welcoming, low-pressure space for homeschoolers to connect and make friends outdoors.
Drop Off Program
You drop off. We explore.
You get a free morning.
What We Do Each Week
Spark of the Day
A question, mystery, or hands-on prompt that gets kids curious and focused for the day’s adventure.
Explore + Investigate
Creek dipping, shelter building, habitat mapping, bug hunts - kids dive into real outdoor science and discovery.
Ecosystem Connection
Each week we highlight a nature concept and connect it to the landscape we’re exploring, giving kids a clear theme to follow.
Sit Spot
A few quiet minutes to slow down, listen, observe, and reflect - helping kids build awareness and connect with the natural world.
