Homeschool in the WIld

Piedmont Wildlife Center’s homeschool program is a wonderfully unique experience. Composed of a diverse group of community-oriented families, Homeschool in the Wild provides an opportunity for your child to engage with others and grow on their own terms. We encourage self-expression and foster healthy communication between our campers, staff, and parents/guardians.

We follow a model for teaching and learning based on nature mentoring and the art of questioning. It is designed to engage the body and senses, inspire the mind, awaken curiosity, develop confidence, create community, and build nature connection.

Our homeschool program features:

  • Unique outdoor learning experiences

  • A small group setting

  • Applied projects

  • Experienced mentors

  • Stories, games, and adventures in life science and wilderness skills

  • Community building, leadership opportunities, and inspired learning

All of our homeschool programs will be following our COVID-19 protocol. This is subject to change, dependent on local COVID levels and cases.
