A FAMILY-CENTERED LEARNING COMMUNITY
Learning beyond the classroom - together.
At Creative Campus, we believe learning is most meaningful when it happens through connection, creativity, and community. Our classes and events are designed to bring families together through hands-on experiences, play-based learning, and opportunities to build lasting friendships. We're here to support parents, nurture curious minds, and help cultivate a village where every family feels welcome.
WHO WE ARE
Started by homeschooling moms. Built for the whole community.
The Creative Campus began as the Creative Clubhouse — a homeschool co-op of seven local families who met every Friday, rotating between each other’s homes and field trips around the area. After a year and a half, we started opening the doors wider: pop-up art classes, preschool book clubs, nature hikes, and a homeschool spelling bee that drew spellers from preschoolers to grandmothers. The turnout confirmed what we’d suspected — other families were looking for this, too. Today we offer a season-by-season lineup of classes, clubs, and events for the entire community.
What families are saying about us…
“Creative Campus events are inclusive, well-organized, and meaningful — with thoughtful lessons adapted for different ages and abilities. My kiddos love it. It's a wonderful community!”
- Alexis Z.“All three of my children — and even my grandmother in her 80s — competed in the Spelling Bee. I love that intergenerational participation was welcomed and encouraged. They're already excited for next year!”
-Jeni C.“Before it started we made actual bees (not spelling bees) out of puff balls and pipe cleaners. There was a bee keeper dude talking about bees. The whole thing was so much fun.”
-Brantley, age 11Something for every age and interest
For families just getting started, and for current members who need a quick answer.
Upcoming Events
-
Celebrate the season together at our Homeschool Harvest Party, a fall gathering for families to connect and have fun. We’ll enjoy autumn-themed games, crafts, treats, and plenty of time for kids to play while parents visit and build community. Families are invited to bring a favorite seasonal snack to share as we give thanks for the blessings of the year.
-
Join us for a Children’s Makers Market where young creators take center stage. This special event gives kids the opportunity to showcase, share, and sell their handmade goods just in time for the holiday season. From crafts and artwork to baked treats and inventive creations, each booth highlights their creativity, effort, and entrepreneurial spirit.
-
Step into the magic of the season at our Polar Express Holiday Party. Enjoy holiday activities and crafts, delicious treats and come in your favorite holiday attire.

Start the new year with clarity and connection at our New Year Mom Planning Night. This potluck-style gathering invites moms to share a meal and thoughtfully map out the year ahead. Bring your favorite planner, enjoy meaningful conversation, and leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and supported for the months to come.

Where we’re headed
Someday we hope to have a campus of our own — classrooms in the trees, gardens the kids help grow, and space for every kind of learner. We’re building it the way we build everything: one class, one family, one season at a time.
Homeschool Boys Nature Club is a weekly outdoor adventure class designed for boys who love to explore, build, move, and discover the world around them. Meeting Wednesday mornings from 9–11am, the club runs September 2 through November 18 and focuses on hands-on learning through hiking, fort building, nature studies, outdoor games, survival skills, animal care, woodworking projects, creek exploration, and more.
Each weekly class is $5. Pay $50 upfront for the term and receive two classes for free.
Refunds: Let us know at least 24 hours before a session and we'll refund you in full. Cancellations within 24 hours aren't refundable. If we cancel a session, you'll get a refund or credit toward a future class.
