Easter Doings!

Enjoy Life UROCK 2014 - Unschoolers' Radical Oregon Coast Kampout!

Third Annual UROCK –
Unschoolers’ Radical Oregon Coast Kampout

September 2014 at South Beach State Park

The first two UROCKs were a smashing success, and we are planning ahead to make the next one even better.

Come join us for more fun on the beautiful Oregon Coast - several fun filled days with other whole life unschoolers. We will again be holding the event at South Beach State Park, which has a large Meeting Hall yurt and awesome outdoor areas which are great for Nerf wars, hooping, making boffers, riding bikes, campfires and more.   

UROCK 2014 is in the planning stages now.  We will reserve as many yurts as possible for three nights during the second or third week of September.  We will get Friday through Monday if possible, but that is not guaranteed.  (The last two events ended up Sunday through Wednesday).  We need to pay in full 9 months ahead of time, so we need help with finances for those who can afford to help.  UROCKstars - those who pay for extra spots - will get a special discounted registration price of $20!  You will be refunded for your investment when the spots sell.  

Registration

UROCKstar - $20 (see above)

Early bird registration - $35 (for families who pay before December 21)

Regular registration - $50 (after December 21)

Camping Options (prices without registration) 

Yurts sites and campsites have a maximum of 8 people per site. Prices are for 3 nights.

Yurt Site: $140

The yurts have beds for 5. People can sleep on the floor or you can put up a tent on your site or you can park an RV in the driveway of most of the yurts (this is not allowed in the CRV loop).

Yurts have heat and electricity, but there is no water inside.  

You need to supply your own bedding.

RV or Tent Site: $95
The night temperatures in September are COLD, so if tenting is your plan, be prepared!

For RV spaces please specify length of your vehicle so we can assign you to an appropriate spot.

NOTES: 

There is only one yurt that accepts pets (up to 2 cats or dogs), and it will go to the first family who pays and requests it. NO PETS IN THE OTHER YURTS. Please respect this as not doing so could jeopardize the future of this event!

You may only park one car or a car and trailer combination at any of the spots (yurt or RV). Extra vehicles are $5/day, paid to the park when you enter, and they must be parked in a separate lot.

Cancellation Policy

Registration fees are NOT refundable, though you may sell your spot to another family.

Scholarship Information

Wish I Knew More About Mushrooms!

These showed up in my garden at the end of the season!  Wish I knew if they were edible!

Just Another Harvest

Wow, the peppers, eggplant and tomatillos are rolling in like crazy now.  And check out the watermelon!

Finally the Big Day!

Nothing like waiting until the last day to carve pumpkins. :) Worked out though.

We also made these neat "jar o lanterns" by taping off faces, then painting the whole jar and taking the tape off so the light glowed through the faces.  Fun!

Got toys instead of candy this year.

Always more fun with friends.

The whole bunch, scary eyes and all!

Samhain Happenings

I normally try to do a Samhain observance the day before Halloween because that night is just too full of other amp. :)

I made a stuffed pumpkin recipe that was delicious!

Family Altar all set up with ancestor photos.

The ancestor wands really took on a life of their own with Orion this year!  After looking at the globe and talking about where our ancestors came from, he wanted to do one with colors of the flag from each country.  The simple pink one belongs to Akasha of coarse.  :)

More Fall Fun

The chickens are wild for the dried dill seeds!

We went to a local pumpkin patch since I didn't have pumpkins to carve  yet.

Is that a headlock or a hug?

I could not believe Orion wanted to ride the ponies!  He has not done that for YEARS!

And they always love a petting zoo!
