A week where every child’s world becomes part of something bigger.
Your children have been somewhere. Probably many somewheres. They carry pieces of those places with them, a word in a language that isn’t ours, a pattern they noticed on a wall, a gesture they picked up without even realising it.
This week, all of that becomes the material.
We’re gathering a small group of worldschooling and free-learning families on a forested hillside in Skiathos for seven days of making, exploring, and genuinely landing somewhere. The children have their workshops. The grown-ups have space to breathe. Meals are cooked fresh every day. The tent is already up when you arrive.
All you have to do is show up.
What the children will be making
Over the first two mornings, the children come to the circle and share. A colour from a country. A word. A gesture. A pattern from a place that stayed with them. The facilitators listen, collect, weave it together.
Then on Thursday, it all becomes one thing.
The signature moment of the week:
The whole group paints a shared wall together. Every child’s piece finding its place alongside everyone else’s. Their travels, their memories, their worlds, all of it pressed into one mural that stays on the land after you leave. Future families will gather around it without knowing your children’s names, and something of them will still be there.
What the week looks like
Every day has a rhythm, but it’s a gentle one. Mornings start with a circle. Workshops happen before the heat of the day. Afternoons are for the beach, the forest, or doing absolutely nothing if that’s what you need.
Midweek, we take a private wooden sailboat out to beaches you can only reach by water. A cook on deck, hidden coves, children jumping off the side. It tends to become everyone’s favourite day.
Friday evening is Mamma Mia Night, open-air cinema under the Skiathos stars, local dancers, about 200 people, and absolutely everyone singing. Trust us, no cinema will ever compare!
What’s included
Tented accommodation, all vegetarian meals cooked fresh daily, fruit, morning circles, painting and cultural circle workshops, beach excursions, forest hikes, the wooden sailboat day, Mamma Mia Night, and a pizza party. One price. Nothing left to organise.
575€ per person — adults and children alike.
A Joyceful Nature Adventures family camp. One week, all included, rooted in nature and community. Click HERE for more info and The Brochure
Families who home-educate, unschool, worldschool, or simply want a different kind of summer. You don’t need a label. If your children have grown up moving through different cultures and you want a week where that becomes something beautiful rather than something to explain, this one is for you.
Solo parents are very welcome. We have a double tent, two igloos with a shared common space, designed exactly for solo parents who want to share the week with another family. A little co-parenting for seven days, with your own private space to come back to.
On the magical mountain of the beautiful island of Skiathos, Greece, in Joy’ce Kingdom

Joy’ce Kingdom is not just a place.
It is a space where people come together to live, learn, and grow.
