Keeping Childhood Wild.
Wild Child is a nature-based parent and child program on the traditional lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples (Victoria, BC), offering community and support through outdoor play.
Welcome!
We are rooted in the belief that childhood is best lived slowly and with as much time outside as possible. Our registered drop-in program invites children to explore the natural world through unstructured outdoor play. We are inspired by the Waldorf philosophy and follow the rhythms of the seasons. We gather weekly (rain or shine) at our home base, The Grove, and in parks around Greater Victoria.
At the heart of Wild Child is community. Our goal is to create a community of likeminded caregivers that would rather be outside than inside!
Come join us for a morning of child-led fun and increase your confidence in providing outdoor opportunities for your children. Registration is required for all our playgroups and events.

Wild Child recognizes that we are uninvited guests living and playing on the lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən speaking Peoples, also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.
As a nature-based program, we believe it is essential to acknowledge the land we play on and to continually learn from the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for it since time immemorial.
We strive to show respect by caring for this land and nurturing our children’s relationship with it.
