Asheville Homeschool for Kids Ages 5–16

Hands-on, nature-based garden program for homeschoolers featuring exploration, gardening, and creative projects.

Garden Camp Homeschool is a hands-on, nature-based learning program where children spend the day exploring, creating, cooking, gardening, and learning outdoors. Designed for homeschool families, the program combines child-led exploration with thoughtfully planned seasonal activities and plenty of time for play, curiosity, and connection.Each week introduces a different nature-inspired theme. Children learn through real experiences in our gardens, kitchen, and creative spaces rather than through a traditional classroom format. Depending on the week's theme and season, activities may include gardening, planting and harvesting, cooking, nature exploration, art and creative projects, books and storytelling, seasonal projects, and outdoor play.Our approach is intentionally flexible and child-led. Children are encouraged to follow their interests, work at their own pace, ask questions, experiment, and participate in ways that feel natural to them. Activities are designed to work across a range of ages, allowing younger and older children to engage with the same theme at different levels.Children may also bring home seeds, plants, projects, books, recipes, or other resources connected to what they explored that week, giving families opportunities to continue learning, cooking, and gardening at home.Fall 2026 Full Semester• Thursdays, 9:00 AM–3:30 PM• 10 week program• September 17 - November 19, 2026• Ages 6-16• Full Semester Tuition: $1,050Enrollment in the Full Semester reserves your child's place for all 10 weeks of the Fall 2026 program.Families who prefer a shorter commitment may also register separately for either the First Half (5 weeks) or Second Half (5 weeks) of the semester. Individual Drop-In Days will also be available separately, subject to space availability.Because much of Garden Camp takes place outdoors and activities change with the season, each week is a little different. Our goal is to give children a welcoming environment where they can explore nature, develop practical skills, make things with their hands, and enjoy learning alongside other homeschoolers.
