Our Fall 2024, and Spring Break 2025 eco-adventure with Miles4theMinds took us on an 80-mile journey through the stunning Florida Panhandle, where 5 family teams and a very enthusiastic 11 roadschoolers explored the awe-inspiring Florida Caverns, marveling at the intricate limestone formations. The journey continued to some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world, with pristine sands and crystal-clear waters providing the perfect backdrop for learning and relaxation. This adventure was not just about the destinations, but also about the bonds we strengthened and the knowledge we gained along the way, blending education, exploration, and family fun into unforgettable memories.

Summer of 2024 and Spring of 2025, we embarked on an unforgettable 99-Miles of eco adventures from Naples Beach to Caspersen Beach. This journey was a perfect blend of history, nature, and excitement. 33 Roadschoolers formed 9 Family Teams exploring ancient ruins, discovering hidden treasures, and collecting fossilized shark teeth along the pristine shores. The adventure was not just about the thrill of discovery but also about appreciating the breathtaking coastal landscapes and the rich marine biodiversity. Join us next time for an experience that promises both education and exhilaration!

Spring of 2024, our MILES4THEMINDS eco-adventure from ‘Robert is Here’ to Key West was a journey of discovery and camaraderie. Spanning 130 miles, 17 roadschoolers, and 5 family teams embraced the challenge, transforming the Overseas Highway into a thrilling educational escapade. 🚗🗺️ We ‘raced’ down the highway, pausing to snap selfies at breathtaking stops. From snorkeling the barrier reef, to unfurling sails of discovery, savoring a cultural feast, and painting dreams at sunset, our journey was a seamless tapestry of adventure, learning, and unity. 📷🌊⛵🍛🎨

In Spring of 2023, there were 12 Roadschoolers and 5 Families embarked on an 82 Mile journey from Lykens to Lancaster in PA. 🚗 Our MILES4THEMINDS roadies had a sweet encounter with the chocolate master himself, and learned some delicious secrets. 🍫 The museum was a wonderland of cocoa, and the park was a blast of fun. 😍 The aroma of chocolate lingered in the air, and we never got tired of it. 😋 The Amish farms and auctions transported us to a different time and place, rich in history and culture. 🐴 Exploring the fields of wildflowers was a magical experience, as we marveled at the beauty and diversity of nature. 🌼

In March of 2022, and again in April of 2025, MILES4THEMINDS had 26 roadschoolers and 8 families hit the road for a 640 Mile adventure from the Alamo to White Sands. 🚗 We explored the youngest national park in the country, where we slid down the dazzling dunes of pure gypsum. 🏂 It was an awesome eco-adventure like no other. 😎 The icing on the cake was the Meow-Woof Museum, where we immersed ourselves in quirky and colorful art exhibits. 🐱🐶 It was a trippy and trendy experience of contemporary art. 🌈

In 2021, MILES4THEMINDS left the glitz and glam of Las Vegas 🎰 and headed to the peaceful beauty of Yosemite🌲, where 8 Roadschoolers and 3 families traveled 450 miles across the wild west 🤠.
