Wild + Free Homeschool Community Groups

Wild + Free is a growing community of homeschool families who embrace nature-based, child-led learning. Their local community groups organize nature walks, outdoor classes, art projects, field trips, and social gatherings. With a focus on creativity, exploration, and connection, Wild + Free groups provide a refreshing alternative to more structured co-op models.

Wild + Free groups are organized by local volunteers and vary widely in structure and activities. Some groups meet weekly for nature walks and outdoor exploration. Others organize monthly field trips, book clubs, or art workshops. The common thread is a philosophy that values childhood wonder, creativity, and the natural world. These groups are particularly popular with Charlotte Mason and unschooling families, though all homeschool philosophies are welcome.
