We travel both locally and all over North Carolina to wherever adventure calls us.

Sanford Homeschool Park Day

On the first Friday of every month we host a Sanford, NC community wide homeschool park day. The event is posted publicly on our facebook page and facebook group. This is a great opportunity to meet some of our group members and see if our group is a good fit for your family.

Fees & Supplies

Forest Wildlings activities are included in the annual group membership. Families are expected to bring their own optional nature bags and supplies. 

We are a laid back group of eclectic homeschoolers working together to create classes and clubs based off of student's interest, to help facilitate exciting opportunities to make new friends, and learn something new. Our curriculum is created by parent teacher volunteers and approved by the Sanford Homeschoolers board members. We keep our lessons short and hands on to help hold student's interest. Classes sometimes end a little early to allow for extra free playtime outside to burn off some energy. No child will ever be forced to participate in class. Our co-op classes and clubs are for homeschool enrichment and cannot replace the curriculum your family uses at home for your main educational needs.

We are NOT a drop off program. Parents are required to stay on site while your children attend classes.

Ages

We offer classes for ages 3-18!
