Wild Child Freeschool (at Steven's Creek County Park)

Wild Child is a nomadic nature awareness program for homeschooling kids. Every week, kids ages 5-17 explore a different wild place in the San Francisco Bay Area with an intrepid Wild Child guide.

Wild Child Freeschool programs create a safe space for kids to learn to interact with a community independently of their parents. As a parent drop-off program, a primary goal during Wild Child's 7, 14 or 21 week sessions is to encourage a child's independence and confidence in developing relationships with their peers. Wild Child, Wild Makers, Wild Skills and Wild Projects are full-day nature programs that run from 10am-4pm, and cost less hourly than a babysitter! In addition to providing deep nature experiences, we are committed to helping kids discovering their own unique interests, and how - at any age - they can be involved in creating a better world.

We are deeply inspired by like-minded nature programs and incorporate real survival and homesteading skills into outdoor adventures. Wild Child has more of an emphasis on free play, unstructured time in nature, and a strong emphasis on cultivating joy – helping kids learn to be a positive influence in the world without taking life (or themselves) too seriously.
