Workshops & Programs

Afternoons full of creativity, curiosity, and community.

Our Workshops & Programs are where imagination really takes off! Open to all of our members — both full and associate — these afternoon sessions give kids (and grown-ups!) a chance to dive into something new, hands-on, and just plain fun.

Each workshop is a little different, and that’s what makes them so special. Some are led by our talented parents who bring their own passions to life, while others feature guest instructors, artists, librarians, and visiting educators who share their unique skills and stories with our group.

From science and art to nature and community building, our workshops are always changing, engaging, and full of excitement. Some might last an hour, others might grow into short-term clubs or mini classes — the possibilities are endless!

Here’s a peek at a few of our favorite past workshops:

  • Tie-Dye Creations
  • Crayfish Workshop
  • Become a Balloon Animal Artist
  • Fire Building Workshop
  • Creepy Crawly Planters
  • LaPorte Library Mobile Bus - Edison Bots

Our Workshops & Programs are a chance to explore new interests, spark creativity, and build memories together — because learning doesn’t just happen in a classroom. Around here, it happens wherever curiosity leads.


Community Workshops

Learning together, supporting each other.


Our Community Workshops bring together homeschool families from all around the area to learn, connect, and create something meaningful. These special events are open to the entire homeschool community, and every workshop directly supports our mission — all proceeds go toward lowering our class fees each semester, helping keep Wild Roots accessible for all families.

Each workshop blends creativity with nature and a touch of old-fashioned know-how. Together, we learn how to make simple, beautiful things that nurture both home and heart — from herbal remedies and natural crafts to seasonal gifts and simmer pots that fill the air with cozy scents.

These gatherings are relaxed, welcoming, and full of community spirit — a place where you can share stories, swap ideas, and leave with something handmade and useful.

Here’s a peek at some of our past Community Workshops:

  • Simmer & Salve - Simmer Pots and Lip Balm
  • Autumn Apothocary - Berries & Botanicals
  • Soothe & Breathe - Herbal Chest Rub & Breathe Easy Salve
  • Sun-Kissed & Nourished - After Sun Salve & Tallow Sunscreen
  • Wild Would Care Hike & Workshop
  • Hike & Herbal First Aid Workshop

Our Community Workshops are a beautiful mix of learning, laughter, and local connection — a reminder that when we come together to create, we also grow something much deeper: community roots that thrive.
