Welcome
Our homeschool programs are the heart of what we do. We run weekly classes out in nature, close to where you live, from September through April. Each group is a little different because each community brings its own personality, but every program is built around the same three pillars: the sit spot, survival skills, and wandering. Participants will learn to make fire, build shelter, carve, track animals, identify plants, and a lot more depending on where their curiosity takes them. But honestly the skills are almost secondary to what actually happens out there. You watch a student figure something out with their hands that no screen could ever teach them, and something changes. That's what we're really after.

A Typical Day
Students arrive and kick things off with a sensory training game. After a snack break they head to their sit spots to observe and journal. From there the group either wanders together or workshops a skill like fire making or shelter building. No two days are exactly the same and that's kind of the point.

Parent Involvement
Our homeschool programs are designed as a family experience, which means parents participate too. A week before the season starts we send out a volunteer schedule to all registered families. If your assigned date doesn't work, hop on Discord and swap with another parent, someone always needs a trade.
Volunteering is low pressure. You can jump in and participate alongside the kids, hang back and watch, or bring the littles along for the ride. Homeschooling is about time with your family and we want to keep it that way.

Benefits
Just like meditation or yoga incorporating an Earth Education practice into your life can have numerous benefits: Improves focus and emotional regulation, builds confidence through natural consequence, creates self sufficiency by developing practical survival skills and creates strong peer and family connections.
