Earthroots is a non profit education organization, offering creative learning environments that nurture the whole person and their connection with the natural world.
We offer classes year round for toddlers, homeschoolers, teens, adults, private and public schools and summer camps. Outdoor “classrooms” include local organic farms, gardens, wilderness parks, green kitchens, beaches, creeks and more. This school is an exploration of our natural world and extends into our connection with all things. Orange County programs meet at new locations each week, ranging from San Clemente to Huntington Beach and east into the Santa Ana Mountains. Each year, we also travel out of our region for family camping trips & adventure.

Some of the projects we do over the course of the year include starting, growing and eating from our garden, harvesting acorns, making traditional Native American instruments and crafts, weaving with natural fibers, identifying marine tidepool creatures, milking a goat, making goat milk ice cream, identifying and eating edible plants in our neighborhoods and local wilderness areas, following and identifying animal tracks, learning bird calls, building with natural materials, creating a journal documenting our discoveries, finding places to be quiet in nature, building trust and confidence through adventurous challenges and enjoying the peaceful abundance of the natural world.
We adapt our classes to the interest of those in attendance and allow the spontineity of the day to guide us. Small groups allow for a deepening of experience for all present. For the childrens’ classes, parents are welcome to participate or drop off. In most situations, younger siblings may accompany parents during class.
