the first ARGH took place over 2 days in november 2007 in johnson city, tennessee. day 1 was a meet up at a local park building at night for a potluck and game playing. we learned some new games and met some new friends. day 2 took place at a church hall where we had small funshops of ATC making, video gaming, and mini talks. the kids got into the "talks" by locking themselves in a room and writing on their OWN white board and talking about things they wanted to talk about. it was very cool!! we actually had a 3rd day, but it was more of a quiet get together at ren's house for more games and talking and hanging out. we had just moved back to the area and only known the allens (in person) for a few months but we already felt like family. and i can't think of a better way to have gotten back into the swing of things here in east tennessee than this gathering!!
ARGH (Autodidactic Radical Gathering of Homeschoolers) is a secular family gathering by and for unschoolers of all ages which takes place in Spruce Pine, NC. This organic event relies on participants to host activities, making each gathering unique, helps keep costs low, and creates a feeling of community. Connecting with others interested in unschooling and the whole-wide-world helps build community, enrich our learning experiences, develops new friendships and encourages a lot of FUN!
