Okatie/Beaufort Wild + Free Homeschool Group
Low Country
This is a weekly meet up group on Wednesdays, 11am - 1pm for homeschool moms and kids to hike and explore nature in the Okatie, Beaufort, Bluffton area. Some days we will to do “field trips” and explore beyond this radius.
This group provides kids an opportunity to play, explore and learn naturally in a community style, outdoor environment. Open-ended play and exploration while sprinkling in some natural (and sometimes coordinated) learning in a relaxed way. We aim to preserve the adventure, freedom and wonder of childhood.
This isn’t your typical play date group. The goal is to consistently attend for children to foster meaningful relationships while being “wild + free” and for moms to build relationships and encourage one another in our homeschooling and motherhood journeys.
This group is focused towards school-aged children but younger siblings are welcome to come. 🙂
