About Wednesdays

Wednesday Nature School (The Young Naturalist Program) is for families who feel deeply called to unschool or homeschool in a nature-forward way, but don’t want to do it alone—and don’t want to hand their children off to strangers for education.

It’s for families who:

*Desire consistent, weekly nature-based community

*Value free play, curiosity, and child-led learning

*Want gentle structure and inspiration without institutional schooling

*Are opting out of government-funded schooling and drop-off programs

*Believe learning happens best in relationship, not separation

This program is especially supportive for:

*Families brand new to home education who want scaffolding and confidence

*Seasoned homeschoolers who simply want company on the journey

*Parents who believe they are meant to be present and involved

This is a child + guardian program. You attend with your child. We learn together.

Think of Wednesday Nature School as off-the-grid education.

Each week, families spend multiple unrushed hours outdoors in a small, consistent group—learning, playing, exploring, and growing together through the seasons.

This program:

*Empowers parents to educate their children in a way that honors their unique needs

*Supports children in developing real-world problem-solving and communication skills

*Allows learning to unfold organically through play, nature, and relationship

*Builds confidence—in children and parents

Parents often say this becomes the anchor of their homeschool week.

This program is:

*Deeply nature-forward (we gather outdoors in all weather)

*Inspired by Charlotte Mason and Waldorf philosophies

*Rooted in unschooling principles and child-led learning

*Infused with research, experience, and a whole lot of heart

*Mini lessons and invitations are offered to spark curiosity, but the foundation is free play, exploration, and real-life learning.

As Charlotte Mason said:

“Never be within doors when you can rightly be without.”

*A shared hike with lots of free play and exploration

*Cooperative play and natural problem-solving

*Support from experienced, loving home educators—you and others in community

*Friendship-building through real-life interactions

*Gentle, organic learning moments woven into the day

*Deep connection to nature (and yes… forest bathing)

This is not enrichment.
This is childhood as it was meant to be lived.

*Bright, creative, curious kids.
*Children who need movement, space, and time.
*Families who value depth over convenience.
*Nature lovers, wanderers, and wonder-seekers.

*Perfect for the whole family — ages birth through adult.

We are raising leaders, innovators, movers, and shakers—by honoring childhood, not rushing it.
