SUMMARY:Wild Roots Learning Community Session
DESCRIPTION:Quick Info! \n🗓️ Dates: Jan. 8\, Jan. 22\, Feb. 12\, Feb. 26\, Mar. 12\, Mar. 26\, Apr. 9\, Apr. 23 (all Thursdays) \n⏰ Time: 10:00am-12:00pm (each time) \n📍 Location: Creative Lab\, Heritage Park \n👧 Age Range: 3-12 years old \n💸 Cost: FREE for Members\, $5 per child/session for Nonmembers \n⚠️ Note: Grown-up supervision is required—adults get in free! \nWhat is the Wild Roots Learning Community? \nWild Roots is a play-based learning group where kids (aged 3-12) discover the world around them through child-led exploration. During the sessions\, our facilitators present an open-ended activity that kids can interpret and engage with in their own way—some might observe\, some might jump in right away\, and some might transform the activity into something entirely their own! Activities include anything from climbing our Bijou playground\, snowshoeing through Heritage Park\, crafting a useful object\, creating an art project\, and more! \nWe believe that true learning blossoms when children are free to follow their curiosity. The adults’ job is to listen carefully\, provide materials\, and then step back and trust the process. The kids’ job? To be curious\, play hard\, and have fun! In the end\, the goal is to encourage children to develop a love for learning itself. \nGrown-ups are required to supervise their kids\, but they get in free! \nThe group meets from 10:00am-12:00pm every other Thursday from January to April (see the top of this listing for the exact dates). Sessions may take place indoors or outdoors\, so please ensure you and your kids wear/bring appropriate clothing—even in the winter! \nWhy did we choose “Wild Roots” as a name? \nOur name originates from a fascinating discovery made in Biosphere 2\, an experimental\, enclosed ecosystem located in Arizona. Scientists found that trees grown inside the protected biosphere kept falling over unexpectedly; they grew quickly but couldn’t support their own weight. What was missing? Wind. Without the natural stress of wind pushing against them\, the trees never developed strong\, resilient root systems. The experiment taught us that growth isn’t just about perfect conditions—it’s about authentic experiences\, including the challenges\, the wobbles\, and the natural push and pull of life. At Wild Roots\, we honor this wisdom by trusting children to navigate their own learning adventures\, knowing that real strength comes from the freedom to grow wild.
