There will be a maximum of 30 children.

Our Fall session is 12 weeks, our Winter session is 10 weeks, and our Spring session is 12 weeks.

Our Homeschool refund policy is coming soon!

Please read our full refund policy for complete details. Here are the specifics of our policy:

Full Refund: A full refund will be issued if you cancel your registration at least 2 weeks prior to the start of your selected camp week.

No Refunds for Cancellations After 2 Weeks: No refunds will be granted for cancellations made within 2 weeks of the start of camp or for any reason, including illness, personal emergencies, or any other circumstances that prevent your child from attending.

To cancel your child's registration, please send an email to team@wildrootsnbl.com

If your child is hurt or involved in a safety-related incident:

• A staff member will provide care and comfort immediately.
• We will notify you at pick-up or by phone for more serious injuries.
• An injury or incident report will be completed and shared with you to review and sign.

All reports are kept on file for our records and used to improve future safety practices.

Wild Roots Nature Based Learning programs are active, outdoor, and hands-on—rain or shine! Sending your child prepared helps ensure they’re comfortable, safe, and able to fully engage with their experience.

Clothing Guidelines:

Please dress your child in layers and clothing that can get dirty, wet, and muddy. We are outside in all weather except in cases of extreme conditions (e.g., severe storms, lightning, or dangerous temperatures).

We recommend:

• Base layer: lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing
• Middle layer: fleece or sweatshirt
• Outer layer: waterproof jacket or rain suit
• Bottoms: long pants preferred for tick and scratch protection
• Shoes: closed-toe, sturdy shoes or boots (no sandals or Crocs)
• Extras: hat, gloves, extra socks, and a full change of clothes (especially for younger children)
  

Label everything with your child’s name—we often find lost hats and mittens in the woods!

Water Bottles, Lunch & Snack Policies:

• Water Bottles: Please send a full, reusable water bottle daily. Hydration is essential!
• Lunch: For full-day programs, pack a nutritious, waste-free lunch in a reusable container. We do not refrigerate or microwave food.
• Snacks: Send one or two healthy, nut-free snacks. We often eat snack outdoors during free play or quiet time. Wild Roots Nature Based Learning will provide one to two snacks per day depending on the programming. 

Note: We are a nut-free program to help protect children with allergies. Please read labels carefully.

Personal Items Policy:

To keep the focus on nature and community, we ask that personal toys, electronics, and valuables stay at home. If your child brings a comfort item or tool (e.g., nature journal, magnifying glass, fidget, headphones, weighted vest, etc.), please let a Wild Roots team member know. Because we support all types of learners, and especially children with neurodivergent brains and/or various abilities, we fully support your child needing to bring something with them to our programs to best support their needs. This is not a restrictive policy, but more so to allow for conversation, collaboration, and clear communication to best support your child and family and to ensure that whatever comes to camp is used properly and returns home with your child. 

Wild Roots Nature Based Learning is not responsible for lost or damaged personal belongings.

Open, honest, and respectful communication is a cornerstone of our partnership with families. We want you to feel informed, involved, and connected throughout your child’s time with Wild Roots.

How We Stay in Touch:

We use several methods to keep families updated and in the loop:

• Email: Look for weekly updates with important reminders, highlights from the week, and upcoming events.
• Text Alerts: We send quick updates or urgent alerts (such as weather-related changes or last-minute announcements) via text.
  

Please make sure your contact information is always up to date so we can reach you when needed.
