Calling adventurous families with kids aged 8 to 12 to join our traveling school & community as we head to Asia next year! (August 2024-May 2025)

We're a group of families who travel the world together, along with a (fantastic!) teacher we collectively hire for our kiddos. Our goal is, quite literally, to make the world our classroom.

Over the course of the year, we will explore 6 countries: Japan, South Korea and the Philippines (Term 1); Vietnam, Sri Lanka and either Georgia or Uzbekistan (Term 2).

Deliberate Detour participants delve into the ancient and the modern during their visit to Cusco. On any given day, they may visit a humble church built atop the Inca’s sacred Temple of the Sun, make chocolate from cacao seeds harvested in the Peruvian Amazon, create music with a traditional pan flute… and so much more. On optional Friday Field Trips, they travel farther afield, perhaps visiting the pre-Inca salt mines at Maras or the sprawling Urubamba market.

We combine immersive outings with quieter days at the hub space where participants play teambuilding games, relax in the reading nook, engage in a history talk with a local expert, and circle up to reflect on the day’s activities.

While participants learn, grow, and form connections, their parents are free to work in one of Cusco’s lovely cafes or co-working spaces. Or perhaps they embark on a guided architectural walk, organized by Deliberate Detour, or a pisco sour tasting, making connections and memories all their own.

Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival is a wilderness survival school that seeks to connect humans of all ages to the landscape in hopes to protect and restore our natural world.

The skills we teach have been tested and adapted to work in any environment: mountains, deserts, rainforests, and coastal habitats. Classes are offered throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and occasionally, Colorado.

Deliberate Detour participants dive right in, spending time immersed in this culturally-rich, vibrant region. On any given day, they may learn about the mighty Mayan and Zapotec Empires, make chocolate from cacao seeds, gaze at colonial architecture and colorful murals on neighborhood walks, dye yarn and weave on a traditional loom… and so much more. During optional Friday Field Trips, they travel farther afield, perhaps to a nearby village that specializes in Oaxacan quesillo cheese or to the former capital of the Zapotec Empire.

We combine immersive outings with quieter days at the hub space where participants play teambuilding games, relax in the reading nook, engage in a history talk with a local expert, and circle up to reflect on the day’s activities.

While participants learn, grow, and form connections, their parents are free to work in one of Oaxaca’s lovely cafes or co-working spaces. Or perhaps they embark on a guided architectural walk, organized by Deliberate Detour, or a mezcal tour in the lovely countryside outside of Oaxaca, making connections and memories all their own.
