Our Oktoberfest & Worldschooling Retreat will be hosted at Hotel Victory Therme Erding, a one-of-a-kind resort set within Europe’s largest thermal spa.

This extraordinary setting just outside Munich is the perfect home base for families to unwind after the excitement of Oktoberfest and discover the relaxing side of Bavaria together.
When you’re not exploring Munich or celebrating at Oktoberfest, you can spend your days soaking in the palm-lined lagoons, sliding through the Galaxy Waterpark, or relaxing in the Sauna World while the kids splash and play.
Hotel Victory Therme Erding is more than just a place to stay — it’s a floating oasis where adventure meets wellness, and where our worldschooling families can recharge, connect, and share unforgettable moments together.

Every single travel experience is educational. On this trip we will not be sitting in classrooms, or looking at textbooks. We will be exploring, immersing, learning from doing. We will be sharing all the knowledge about the area that we have collected over the years. We will be encouraging kids and adults to break out of their shell and step a little out of their comfort zone and remember what it's like to be a wild child. This might not be in your local school's curicullum but it will be transformational in another way.
We hope that you will leave inspired, full of wonder and with your soul well rested.
Yes, all the families will be added to a WhatsApp group to get to know each other before the trip and discuss the itinerary. We will also use WhatsApp to communicate during the trip.
I think that's a question you need to ask yourself. Most families get along really well if they actually participate in the group and are open to new friends.
During our past trips, introverts have enjoyed sporadic company of other introverts, while their kids were able to be social and extroverts had fun with the whole group. No matter what you will have the perfect experience for you. The more you put into it the more you will get out of it. Be yourself, be authentic, and make time to connect with others. You'll be so happy you did!
