About Earth Keepers
Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy
Earth Keepers was created to support homeschool families seeking meaningful, outdoor-based learning experiences rooted in curiosity, creativity, and connection to the natural world.
Our program offers seasonal, part-time enrichment sessions that invite children and teens to learn through hands-on activities, observation, and shared experience in an outdoor environment.
Our Approach
Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy
We believe learning happens best when children are:
- Engaged with their surroundings
- Encouraged to ask questions
- Supported by caring adults
- Given opportunities to learn through doing
Earth Keepers sessions emphasize experiential learning rather than formal classroom instruction. Activities are adaptable, responsive to the group, and grounded in nature and place.
