Here are some important things to know about us.

Our trips typically enroll unschoolers: young people with large amounts of freedom and responsibility to design their lives and educations. But you don’t have to be an unschooler to join—we’ve also had high schoolers, traditional homeschoolers, alternative school and community college students.

We interview every applicant and only accept motivated, prepared, and conscientious young people, ensuring a high-quality experience for everyone.

We do not run regular, repeating trips. Every Unschool Adventures program is a one-time-only experiment, keeping things fresh for both the trip leaders and participants. Browse all of our previous trips.

Our international traveling group trips are typically 6 weeks long and enroll 10-15 teenage participants (ages 14-19) with 2-3 trip leaders. Previous destinations have included Argentina, Chile, Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia, Spain, Nepal, Mexico, and Germany...
