EP 14: Homeschool Curious? How Outdoor Play, Community, and One Mom’s Pivot Sparked a Movement | Morgan Bergstrom, Basecamped
Description
Episode 14 of The My Outdoorsy Mom Podcast features Morgan Bergstrom, mom of three, outdoor enthusiast, and founder of the new app Basecamped—a digital hub designed to help families connect locally, find community co-ops, enrichment classes, and nature-based education resources.
From corporate burnout to co-op dreaming, Morgan shares her journey from high-level recruiter to homeschool-curious mom, and how one dinner conversation with her parents sparked the idea for Basecamped. We talk about:
- How her third baby became her wake-up call
- Letting go of mom guilt and leaning into flexibility
- Building play-based community even before formal homeschooling begins
- What homeschool really looks like (hint: it’s not just kitchen table worksheets)
- Why outdoor play and moving your body with your kids matters
Whether you're fully homeschooling or just looking for community and better balance, this episode is packed with permission, possibility, and practical ideas.
