Just a few minutes from the sandy shores of Carolina Beach, North Carolina, Wild Earth Wonder offers a unique outdoor experience that blends childhood adventure with hands-on learning. Their After School Tuesdays program invites kids ages 5 to 11 to spend afternoons connecting with nature and each other through activities that challenge both their creativity and physical skills. In a region known for its lush maritime forests and coastal wetlands, this club leverages local natural resources to spark curiosity and fun.

Set against the backdrop of Carolina Beach’s distinctive mix of maritime pine and oaks, the program offers tree climbing sessions on sturdy low branches, building forts from fallen branches and natural materials, and crafting nature-inspired art projects. The club’s approach goes beyond play, incorporating gentle educational elements such as spelling and math worksheets tailored to group needs, making it an enriching environment where learning seamlessly blends with outdoor exploration.

One of the defining features is the hand-foraged herbal tea breaks, a quiet moment that connects kids with the landscape around them and introduces them to local plant life in a hands-on way. The community vibe is strong here, with familiar faces returning and new friendships forming on the woodchip-strewn ground beneath the canopy. Parents appreciate the carefree spending of afternoon hours, knowing their children are engaged in active, social, and educational play.

Wild Earth Wonder’s club stands out in Carolina Beach’s outdoor offerings by combining natural play with structured learning and local ecological awareness. It offers a refuge from screens and indoor routines while celebrating the local environment. Whether it’s the thrill of climbing shallow branches or the calm of sipping chamomile and mint tea from nearby foraged herbs, After School Tuesdays provide a fresh take on afterschool care that encourages resilience, connection, and curiosity in young adventurers.

For adults and community learners, the Herbal Medicine Cabinet Series led by Bridger takes place at the cozy GATHER space; over four evenings participants learn to identify local plants, craft remedies, and build practical herbal skills.

Seasonal workshops such as the Wreath Building Workshop at Seabreeze Horse Connection pair a foraging farm walk with wreath-making and an introduction to Liberty Horsemanship among free-roaming horses.
