Wild Sprouts is nature-based organization dedicated to providing immersive outdoor learning experiences for children from birth to 15 years old. Our programs incorporate lessons in math, literacy, science, and art through hands-on exploration in nature. Set against the scenic backdrop of Hope Valley Farm in Knoxville, MD, we welcome families from Frederick County, Washington County, and even neighboring areas in Virginia to join us in cultivating a love for learning and the environment.

Our Mission

At Wild Sprouts, our mission is to create an inclusive, nature-based learning community where children can explore, grow, and build confidence. We believe outdoor learning sparks creativity, resilience, and a sense of belonging, empowering kids to form meaningful connections with nature and each other. Through hands-on experiences and play, we nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love for the environment. Our goal is to make outdoor education accessible to all families, ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn, discover, and develop a deep appreciation for the world around them.
