Northeast Unschooling Conference (NEUC)

NEUC draws self-directed-learning families from across the Northeast for a multi-day residential retreat at a lakeside summer camp. Sessions range from grown-unschooler panels and parenting discussions to creative workshops and an entrepreneurial fair — alongside lake swimming, paddleboarding, and evening bonfires. The camp setting blurs the line between structured learning and free play by design. With formal community agreements emphasizing mutual respect and autonomy, NEUC is one of the most community-minded unschooling gatherings in the region.
