Welcome to the Unschoolers’ Waterpark Gatherings
|
|
|
Our UWG gatherings are for unschooling families around the country to simply have fun, relax and share time with other unschoolers - ie. families homeschooling in a non-traditional, child-led, interest based, life learning approach. Those new or looking into unschooling are welcomed to come with the understanding they have researched unschooling, come with an open mind and are respectful to those at various stages of unschooling.
The next UWG will be May 16 - 20, 2011
Kalahari Indoor Waterpark Resort, Sandusky, OH
The UWG's are at Sandusky, Ohio's Kalahari Waterpark Resort, the largest indoor waterpark in the USA and Ohio's largest private convention center! It's the premier in waterpark resorts, with 884 rooms (Ohio's largest hotel), 4 restaurants, night club, full service spa, gift shops, large game room, putt-putt, and more. Their indoor waterpark includes everything from lazy river rides, wave pool for surfing and boogie boarding, to giant water slides and thrilling water coasters.
