Wild Roots

Living stories created for children and families.

Wild Roots helps families connect with themselves, one another, and the world around them through experiences designed to come alive in real life.

What Wild Roots creates

More than an activity. An experience that becomes a living story.

Each Wild Roots experience has its own world, participants, materials, and way of unfolding. Some center on children exploring. Others invite an entire family or group to take part.

The Wild Roots collection

Four living stories.

Two experiences are available, one is coming soon, and one is in development.

Personalized adventures beginning at $250.

The Wild Roots
Summer Legend

A living family story unfolds across a gathering.

Children become Seekers. Grown-ups step into the story as Wayfinders and Memory Keepers—sharing clues, conversation, memories, and small treasures that reveal the legend the family is already living.

For children

The Moon Water
Adventure

A familiar yard or neighborhood becomes a map of hidden places.

Children follow symbols, messages, tools, and clues through a property they already know—discovering that mystery and imagination can begin right outside the door.

Leave the world more beautiful.

About Wild Roots

Stories made to be lived.

Wild Roots creates guided story experiences for children and families. Each one combines a story, thoughtfully designed materials, and clear preparation for the adult who brings it to life.

Some experiences are made for children to explore. Others invite an entire family or group to participate. Wild Roots is part of Story Emporium Studio, where stories move beyond the page and into shared experience.
