Posted by Kyra: The beginning of the school year is often a challenging time for those of us who have chosen our homes and the world at large as our places of learning. A buzz is in the air and our school-going friends are preoccupied and anxious. School becomes a force drawing masses of people together, willing or unwilling. Unschooling Camp is a place where home learners of all backgrounds and ages can come together to create connections and friendships and build a sense of shared momentum and excitement for the year to come. The Camp will be held from August 23rd to August 28th at Heartroot Farm, located in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, about 2 and a half hour drive outside of Montreal (see map below). | ||
