Excursions

Excursions

Once a week, a full-day excursion is planned for all participating families who want to explore more of the region together.
These group excursions are shared experiences with other Worldschooling families, combining nature, culture and local highlights. A great way to connect and discover more of what the area has to offer.

The excursions are organized by our partners, and payment is made directly to them. To help our partners plan accordingly, we ask you to indicate if you want to join the excursions when registering. We’ll discuss your choices during the interview, and once your participation is confirmed, your selection will be final.
