W+F is open to any mamas homeschooling their kids. There is no requirement for how long you have been homeschooling or how long you plan to homeschool, just that you are currently homeschooling.
PARTICIPATION to remain a part of the W+F group once you have joined is that you are able to commit to coming to a meet up AT LEAST once a month. This helps you stay connected to the group and helps others get to know you. We meet weekly and provide many opportunities for participation, including many events beyond our weekly meet ups. To try and keep the group connected and building community together we do sort through the group (in our main communication location) at the end of each semester.
If you decide to join W+F there is also a participation waiver that comes from the Wild + Free organization at large that will have to be signed for your family. It is a one time signature. The leaders of W+F will have access to this waiver, as well as myself to the ones who have signed for our group.
We're so glad that you're here and interested in our group. We hope that you'll find it's a good fit for you and your kiddos. We hope you'll find community and your people here, and most importantly find encouragement for your homeschooling journey

Welcome to the NEW Wild + Free Fort Mill, SC group! We're excited to have you!
We now have TWO Wild + Free Fort Mill Groups Available: School Aged and Under 5.
Under 5: OPEN
We are excited to announce that we now have a NEW baby, toddler and preschooler group for children that are under 5. If none of your children are currently schooled aged but you are looking to build community within Wild + Free and are interested in homeschooling, this group is for you! This group meets every other Friday in the York County area.
School Aged Under 10: WAITLIST
Our school aged group meets on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month in Fort Mill, SC.
This group was created to help connect homeschool moms and kids in nature to explore God's creation together!
This group is for homeschool moms of school aged children 5+ who also have preschool aged children and babies. That being said, we do require that at least one of your children is school aged and is currently being homeschooled (5 or older). Any younger siblings are welcome to join! This group does have a lot of younger school aged children and preschoolers so the age range for this group is 0-10 years old. We try to keep the walks very kid friendly, around 1 mile or so. Some of the trails aren't stroller friendly so I recommend a baby baby-carrier for children 2 and under.
We do require that you attend at least 1 meet-up a semester to stay in the group. Our hope is that this group becomes a community, so we encourage you to attend as regularly as possible and avoid occasional "drop ins" so that you and your kiddos can build friendships!
We look forward to meeting you!

About: We are a group of like-minded Christian moms who value our liberty and faith and love adventures in nature with our children! We are seeking to build a close-knit community, pursue freedom in education, ignite hearts for learning, and awaken wonder as we explore God's intricate creation. We do this through hiking, play in nature, quarterly book clubs, seasonal celebrations, and moms' nights.
The group consists of families with older children (middle school and up) but require a minimum of 10 years old for your oldest child (younger siblings welcome). We meet weekly on Tuesdays from 1-4, in a radius of 1 hour from Columbia, asking that families attend meet-ups at least once a month to maintain membership.
