FAQ

  • Our Homeschooling enrichment program is focused on wilderness /ancestral skills, wildcrafting, hiking, and immersive learning in the natural world.

    We pay close attention to the seasons and rhythms that emerge in nature—noticing what’s happening with the plants and animals, what natural materials are available for use, and how things change over time.

    The result is confidence and common sense outdoors as we emphasize skills like navigation, hazard awareness, community care, and care for the Earth.

  • With nature connection as our goal, we make projects available that utilize the natural world around us. Our teachers model and incorporate skills like whittling, shelter building, weaving, friction fire, navigation, nature journaling, and foraging into the classes on a regular basis, while also offering seasonal projects like acorn processing, natural dyes, wild pottery, tool making, and more.

  • Yes! We are approved vendors for Blue Ridge, Golden Valley, and Peak Prep.

    If you would like us to be added as a vendor to your charter, send us an email!

  • Wild Kin’s leaders are educators, naturalists, adventurers, and mothers. Homeschool enrichment is lead by Kat and Desere, meet them here
