Wild Earth Wonder
Learn how to ditch the pharmacy and connect and heal with local plants!
Wild Earth Wonder is a nature-centered program provider offering hands-on after-school clubs, seasonal workshops, and skill-building classes rooted in outdoor learning and traditional crafts. Programs combine adventurous play, creative expression, and practical plant knowledge to support social connection and confidence in children and adults alike.
After-school offerings include two weekly After School Club sessions (Tuesdays and Thursdays). These sessions feature tree climbing, fort building, nature-inspired art, cooperative games, spelling and math activities, and quiet moments with hand-foraged herbal teas. The club emphasizes community and creative play so children can connect with old friends and make new ones while practicing learning skills.
The organization’s curriculum extends beyond after-school care. The Unlock Your Superhero SUPER POWERS program invites children to explore chakras through yoga, art, music, and joyful water play that focuses on confidence and creative self-expression. 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. Wild Earth Wonder presents clear program descriptions, named facilitators, and specific venue locations—details that help prospective participants choose experiences that match their interests and expectations. Program descriptions list activities, facilitators, and locations to inform decisions. Families and participants can review session summaries to find the right fit.
