Nature Homeschool Collective

Tue, Sep 22 · 10:30 AM

Wild Roots Explorers - South Shore · Pleasant Plains

A nature-based community for homeschool families. Step outside the classroom and into the natural world. Wild Roots Homeschool Collective is a weekly outdoor gathering where homeschool families come together for hands-on nature exploration, seasonal learning, creative projects, and meaningful connections. Designed for children who thrive through movement, curiosity, and real-world experiences, each class follows a nature-inspired theme where children can investigate, create, discover, and build friendships outdoors. What to Expect 🌱 Wild Roots Nature Exploration Our instructor introduces a seasonal nature theme through hands-on activities, observations, experiments, stories, and guided exploration. 🌿 Hands-On Learning Children learn through doing — gardening, investigating, creating, collecting, building, and exploring the natural world. 🤝 Homeschool Community Connect with other local homeschooling families while children develop friendships through outdoor play and shared experiences. 🎨 Creative Nature Projects Children use natural materials and their imagination to create meaningful seasonal crafts and projects. 🌳 Child-Led Outdoor Play After guided activities, children have time to explore, play, and follow their own curiosity in our outdoor environment. --------------------------- The Collective Experience The heart of Homeschool Collective is community. - Families are encouraged to contribute their own interests, ideas, and talents throughout the semester. Whether sharing a favorite story, leading a special activity, or simply connecting with other families, everyone plays a role in creating a welcoming homeschool community. - Wild Roots provides the outdoor space, seasonal themes, nature-based activities, and framework — while families help bring the community to life. This class requires a 6-week commitment to build friendships and create a true sense of community. If you are unable to attend a specific date, a makeup class can be scheduled at one of our regular classes. ---------------------------------------- Classes take place year-round and in all weather, rain, snow, or sun, as long as the “RealFeel” or “Feels Like” temperature is between ~20 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Class will be canceled if dangerous weather conditions are forecasted. *Please check your email before each class in case of rescheduling due to inclement weather.* For more information, visit our website: WildRootsNY.com
