We are an outdoor learning community where children self-direct their growth with the support of other families. AN OUTDOOR LEARNING COMMUNITY WHERE KIDS SELF-DIRECT THEIR OWN GROWTH – FOUNDED BY TWO MOMS WHO WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR THEIR KIDS. Imagine your child discovering frogs laying eggs, building stick forts with kids of all ages, and reading under the trees—all while you connect with
parents who share your values. This is what happens when children are trusted to follow their curiosity in a supportive community. At the Baltimore Unschooling Cooperative, we believe children learn best when they're free to explore, create, and connect authentically. Rain or shine, our mixed-age community gathers in beautiful outdoor spaces where kids make their own choices about how to spend their time. WHAT WE OFFER:
➡️ Self-directed learning co-op, outside year-round
➡️ Ages 5 - 17 (siblings welcome), parent participation required
➡️ Tuesdays & Thursdays, 11am-2pm, Sept-May
➡️ Central Baltimore County parks
WHO THRIVES HERE:
Families who trust children's natural learning, parents craving community and time in nature, kids who need space to be themselves, and families open to getting muddy and weathering storms together. Our co-op is a community where families who want something different find what they are looking for. You can breathe easy knowing your children are exactly where they need to be: learning through living, growing through play, and thriving as their authentic selves.
