Join us on Friday, September 19th, 2025 for our 2nd Annual Not-Back-to-School Fall Picnic & Social –a gathering for all of the alternative and nature-based educators, programs and families, as well as homeschooler and unschooler communities, co-ops and curious from all over our region! This Fall Social is open to all ages of those involved in alternative and nature-based education, be they individuals, families, groups or programs.
Date & Times:
Fri, Sep 19, 2025 // 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM (pools close @ 5PM)
This is a private event; pre-registration is REQUIRED (no public general admission/gate sales). We also suggest purchasing your tickets as early as possible as we may likely sell out.
Three income-based ticket tiers to choose from:
// Replenish (allows low-income tickets to be available)
// Sustain (sustains per-person costs)
// Base (subsidized for low-income/immediate family only)
Reserve your spot here:

The hot spring pools will be open and absolutely lovely (range: 90-92°) and the onsite farm-to-table poolside Cafe 108° will be featuring our menu of delicious organic comfort food lunch offerings, house-made drinks and ice cream treats.
Folks may also bring packed picnics to enjoy from home, as well as swimsuits, towels, flip-flops, goggles, sunglasses, hats, lawn chairs and umbrellas/sunshade pop-ups, games, and activities! There's also an amazing stretch of Sonoma Creek to explore, so bring your curiosity!
For those who can, we *highly encourage* the use of sunshirts and rash guards instead of sunscreen (sunscreen washes off very quickly in our hot spring pools).
Want to host a special activity, fun craft or lawn game, or set-up a booth or table showcasing what you're up to? Vendors and activity-providers (with early-arrival/set-up from 10am-12 noon) get one free helper admission. Get it touch before Sept 5 to participate!
