One of our favorite traditions for kicking off the new school year - site clean up day!

Families meet up out at our base camp to get everything cleaned up before our first day!

Because we meet on public property, we often find... Fascinating... Souvenirs left behind by summer visitors... (underwear?! Really?!

Plus the spiders and wasps go crazy out there!

But many hands make light work and we get it all done lickity split. And the kids take such ownership of their "classroom" when we clean it up together!

As we prepare for another year of WILD Child, we're excited to share that the program is evolving!

To better serve our community while keeping WILD Child sustainable for years to come, we're making several changes this fall:

- One combined Wednesday session for all ages (1-17 year olds)
- New meeting time: 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
- More opportunities for mixed-age learning, with a dedicated "clubhouse" space and adventures for our older students.
- A stronger cooperative model, with all families participating in scheduled parent support roles throughout the year.

As we head into this new season, we'd also like to refresh our interest list.

Over the past few years, more than 200 children have been added to our waiting list. We know many families have since found other communities, moved, changed educational paths, or are no longer looking for a program like WILD Child.

If you're still interested in learning about enrollment opportunities, please take a moment to join our updated interest list here:
