Homeschool Camp

We've been away for 3 days camping. We belong to two homechooling groups but as yet hadn't attended any from the other group since they are a bit further to travel to. However, the opportunity came up to go camping with the other group so we jumped at the chance despite not knowing a single person going.

What a blast!

The camp was held at a scout campsite and was set up for heaps of outdoor activities such as kayaking, flying foxes, orienteering, swimming, abseiling and several confidence courses along with games set up. It drizzled with rain on and off the whole time, but that didn't seem to stop most of the action (except for the abseiling).

The first day our group was slotted in for doing the orienteering course and within the first hour Nathan had hooked up with one of the boys in our group. We hardly saw him for the following 2 days - they were stuck together like glue! Danielle also found a wee group of girls she started to play with in the main area outside our tentsite and would come and go with seeing them over the next few days.

And us? We had fun meeting other families - unschoolers and not and just hanging out and getting to know people. Was a lovely way to get to meet these families in a relaxed atmosphere which means if we decide to hook into any of the organised groups from now on we'll know a few faces and the kids will be able just pick up where they left off.

We'll be back again next year!
