My Why

🌿 My Story & Why Support Matters

Hi, I’m Kanami. A homeschooling mom of two wild‑hearted, nature‑loving boys.

When we began homeschooling, it was hard to find free, inclusive spaces where kids could simply be kids. My boys needed friends, play, and connection and so did I. That’s how The Muddy Boots Co‑op was born: no religion, no politics, just families coming together to explore, learn, and grow through nature.

What started as simple meetups has grown into a vibrant weekly rhythm, led by amazing parents who show up, volunteer, and help this community thrive. We’ve shared free nature activities, low‑cost field trips, and science‑based fun all rooted in kindness, curiosity, and connection.

This group is and will always be free, non‑religious, and welcoming to all. Discrimination and hate have no place here. We’re growing together, one leaf pile, muddy hike, and nature craft at a time. Welcome to our circle. We’re so happy you’re here. 💚

💚Donations

Running this co‑op is something I pour my time, energy, and heart into. Everything we do is free to join, and most supplies, materials, and website upkeep come directly out of my own pocket.

If you’d like to support the co‑op, I’ve included our Venmo link below.

Donations are never expected, but always appreciated. they help cover supplies, printing, craft materials, and the little things that make our meetups special.

Thank you for being part of this community. Muddy Boots thrives because of all of you. 💚
