We are just about to head out for the first SMUG. (Summer Montreal Unschoolers Gathering)…
There are a few unschooling gatherings that happen in the US and other parts of Canada, but nothing around here. Until now. Idzie is an unschooling teen that loves to spread the word and took the initiative along with her mom to have a gathering of our own. There won’t be any conferences etc but it is just a buch of unschooling families and teens from around here, the US and even China coming together to hang out and camp for a few days in Oka park just outside of Montreal.
I just know that it is going to be a blast. Hanging around with people that live the same lifestyle as we do, people that have the same goals and the same visions surrounding parenting.
Getting ready for this little trip makes me realize just how much is needed for a family of six to camp out for a few days… I have prepared food, made sandwiches, packed the cooler, packed our plates and cutlery, linens and clothes and the piles seem to be growing…
It’s a lot of work but it is going to be very much worth it!!
