Along with an unschooling conference jam packed with Sessions by your favorite unschooling speakers (to include Rue Kream, Madeline Rains, Kelly, Ben, and Cameron Lovejoy, Erika Davis-Pitre, Dayna Martin, and Eli Gerzon), and funshops for children of all ages, we have planned a Dance with Karaoke on Thursday night, a talent show on Saturday where you will enjoy a variety of acts ranging from a joke-telling 3 year old to experienced professional performers, and an Untrepreneurial Fair at which unschoolers (adults and kids) who are registered for the conference may sell items they make to conference attendees.

We are lucky to have an abundance of space at this conference site, so in addition to spaces for presentations, discussions, and funshops, we'll also have a Playroom with things especially meant for our younger ones to enjoy, a Game Room where people will be able to set up their computer and video games, as well as tables for card, role-playing, and other kinds of games, and a Creativity Room, stuffed with the tools for arts and crafts and inventing.

To top off a weekend of discussion and fun we will have a Monday picnic planned, so stay Sunday and get to know other fellow unschoolers better, chat, connect, create lasting friendships and join us to close out the conference at the Picnic on Monday.

All conference attendees will receive a conference handbook with directory included.

To stay up to date on all conference additions by joining their yahoo group by sending an e mail to: (mailto:NEUConference-subscribe@yahoogroups.com) .

As always, full and partial scholarships are available, please see the web site for details
