Wild Footsteps
“Earth is magic let’s explore it that way.”
Welcome to a world of wonder where art, play, and education meet the outdoors. With Wild Footsteps, I bring the adventure to you with hands-on activities like nature art, sensory play, scavenger hunts, guided hikes, and outdoor adventures all designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and connection.
The best part? These experiences are for all ages from toddlers splashing in sensory play, to teens exploring geology or birding, to adults seeking creative outdoor workshops. Whether it’s a homeschool group, a birthday celebration, a scout troop, or a family playday, every session is tailored to the ages, needs, and interests of your group.
Activities might include creating art with leaves and rocks, journaling in nature, exploring local wildlife, solving scavenger hunts, or enjoying storytelling circles under the trees. Each experience is designed to encourage self-expression, learning about the magic of earth, and a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
I believe that everyone learns differently, and nature provides the perfect classroom for all. That’s why my programs are flexible, inclusive, and welcoming to every age and stage. Whether you’re looking for a family bonding activity, an educational outdoor class, or a meaningful way to celebrate, I’ll create a magical experience just for you.
Nature Explorers
On Demand
A flexible program for homeschool groups, families, and celebrations
Not every family’s schedule fits into a weekly or months-long class and that’s okay! That’s why I created Nature Explorers On-Demand, a flexible program that brings nature based, sensory rich learning experiences right to you.
Whether you’re a homeschool group looking for a naturalist led class, a family wanting to host a one time nature playgroup, or a parent hoping to create a unique birthday experience, I’ll design a standalone class or workshop tailored to your group’s needs.
Each experience can include:
-
Sensory Nature Play (mud, water, bubbles, clay, sand, natural loose parts)
-
Creative Art & Journaling (nature sketching, leaf rubbings, bird journaling, rock painting)
-
Exploration & Discovery (bird watching, rock hounding, bug hunts, mini hikes)
-
Movement & Play (obstacle courses, cooperative games, storytelling circles)
-
Take-Home Nature Treasures (crafts, journals, or found items to continue the learning)
You choose the theme, I’ll bring the materials and together, we’ll create a meaningful and fun day outdoors.
