the Unschoolers Winter water Park Gathering was the highlight of the year for us! we spent a week at Kalahari hanging out with friends old and new! Emma was very open to meeting and talking to new people because all the people registered for our conference wore the same color wrist bands, this seemed to be the perfect gateway conversation. we would talk to people as we floated in the lazy river, or wandered the resort, they were all friends! Emma participated in the kids market. She made book marks and chocolate covered pretzels. She sold each item for a quarter. She was able to charge people the correct price for different numbers of items purchased and give change by her self. She also spent some time shopping the other kids tables, buying some items and trading others. I was a presenter, my round table discussion was "Unschooling the single child". We also enjoyed the family dance in the ball room, a carnival and lots of late night play and yak sessions. It was great being surrounded by families with lifestyles similar to ours.
