Homeschool Programming

Our homeschool programs are our oldest and longest running programs and very near and dear to our hearts. It has been an honor to deliver an experience of connection with the natural world to such an extraordinary group of young people who choose to come back into the woods with us year after year.

Spring Homeschool '24

Thursdays 9:00 am – 1:30 PM

Come explore 400 acres of diverse environments: the Ash Grove, the Hemlock forest, the Beaver dam, bubbling streams, open meadows, and more. Meet Grandmother Hickory and explore Village Camp, with its primitive shelter and cob oven. Have a snack in White Pine Camp, then play epic games or watch the clouds from the grassy fields. On the trail or off the trail, animal signs and plant life provide a natural scavenger hunt for us here.

Since 2001 we’ve welcomed children ages 6-16, to create time each week for community gathering, gratitude, individual interest exploration, and peer-based projects.
