Starlit Highways: Roadschooling Prom

Nomadic Teens: Prom Connection

Prom is a magical milestone, but for nomadic roadschooling families, navigating this special occasion can feel daunting. At Learn to RV, we understand that blending both education and community is key for families on the move. With a little creativity & connection, nomadic teens can experience the joys of prom and graduation by connecting with communities that specialize in this.


We can help provide insights on how to research and join RV family community-based memberships and make connections. This transforms these challenges into unforgettable memories, ensuring your teen celebrates their achievements with peers in style, no matter where the road leads!

Traveling as a family with teens can be an exciting adventure, but keeping them connected with friends is essential. We understand the importance of fostering those connections, especially during winter months and at various events throughout the year with other traveling families. Engaging with a vibrant community not only balances the unique RV lifestyle but also enriches your teen's experience on the road.


While many of these kids see each other as parents get together intentionally at events like Escapade & Bash as well as connect in the winter as they all head south, there is just something extra special about a teen centric event.

There were 2 separate proms in May. One was hosted by The Republic of Nomads in Colorado,  the other hosted by Fulltime Families in South Carolina. At Learn to RV, we believe that you can join whatever group that you are most comfortable in... or join ALL of the communities. As you travel, it's like visiting different neighborhoods.

Republic Of Nomads

Teen Spirit

South Fork, Colorado

The Republic of Nomads crafted an unforgettable 7-day rally exclusively for 20 families, fostering deeper connections among teens and their loved ones. With a perfect mix of adventure and creativity, participants enjoyed daily activities, an energizing pep rally, impactful service projects in the local community at 3 separate locations, and an opportunity for the Senior class to experience Graduation surrounded by the community that has supported them.


The week culminated in a memorable Prom Night, bringing teens together in celebration.


 It was more than just an event; it was a rich tapestry of experiences that strengthened bonds and ignited lasting friendships!

It's FREE to join.

Events are extra.

Fulltime Families

Teen Rally

Hilton Head, South Carolina

This past week in Hilton Head, Fulltime Families created unforgettable memories for families on the move, filled with camaraderie, growth, and service.


With the amazing support of World Share, families & teens engaged in meaningful service projects learning to give back to the community. 


During the rally the teens enjoyed fun smoothie talks to fuel their adventures. Plus, students sharpened their skills through resume-building workshops. 


 The fun didn't stop! Fulltime Families events are known for bringing people together, and a prom night was the highlight of this event. Even the younger kids had an opportunity to have their very own dance!


A family Graduation ceremony followed the next day to honor the graduates and create  memories before those teens move onto their next adventure.

When you live in an RV, every pound matters. Between fuel efficiency, tow weight, and storage capacity, we’re always looking for ways to lighten the load without sacrificing comfort. Our shower was one of those overlooked places—until now. We recently swapped out our bulky glass shower door for the Stoett Nautilus Shower Door , and the difference has been nothing short of amazing!

What’s the Difference?
By Doug S August 21, 2025
Lots of people end up looking at hybrid campers for a variety of reasons. Often times it is an individual coming from a pop-up who continues to want the canvas/tenting experience but wants the extra luxuries of a hard-sided trailer (bathroom, fridge that is at a natural height, etc.). Other times, it’s the prudent buyer […]

Over the last five weeks, I’ve had the joy of organizing and directing four completely different camps… each one unique, each one magical in its own way. This is the part of the year I look forward to all year long. During the rest of the year, I plan… I market… I research… I explore… and I promote these camps. I educate parents and prepare teens… but the camp itself is what I really live for. There’s something truly magical about being able to create and hold spaces for teens to show up as their authentic selves… to let go of the masks that protect them, that present a version of themselves they think the world wants to see… and instead just be who they really are. Watching this happen is incredible… and it happens so quickly.
