Play for a Day

Who?

Think of Play for a Day as an opportunity to experience our popular Wander & Root Nature School... for a day! This is a dynamic, inspiring, play-based, nature immersion program designed for children ages 4 to 9. 

We welcome families who traditionally school, homeschool, wildschool, unschool and everything in between. All children benefit from their time here in nature. We look forward to being a part of their journey!

Where?

Year-round learning takes place on a 50-acre private homestead in rural Jackson Springs, NC.  When you arrive, you will see our basecamp and outdoor classroom, a place for us to store our personal items, fill our water bottles, and prepare for the day’s adventures. Beyond basecamp, lies the forested cove, with splashing stream, mud kitchen, trail system, nature ninja course, fort-building area, rolling hill, campfire circle, and more. Every day, our nature walks take us even further throughout the property to enjoy fields of young longleaf pines, the orchard, the garden, chicken coop, makerspace, and our renovated antique one-room school house turned process art studio. This, and more, is our classroom. Learning has never been so fun! 

All Wander & Root programs occur outside, in all safe weather, rain or shine. During severe weather, we take shelter inside our basecamp or in our art studio barn.
