WHY. Although we have chosen to educate our kids in public Montessori & Classical charter schools, I am a homeschooler at heart & am always looking for ways to expose our kids to various ideas & places.

As I looked around Carlton Landing, I stood in awe of eastern Oklahoma's beauty & as I discovered Oklahoma's rich history, this Travel Guide was born.

We curated the best experiential & nature-based apps, local historical sites that are surrounded by nature for perfect day-trips, & healthy/allergen friendly restaurants so you can eat well on vacation.

NATURE-BASED APPS. In this guide, we share FREE apps to help you discover birds, the night sky, & plants in a way that combines exploration & learning.

We also recommend 2 apps that help your family discover Carlton Landing in an interactive way via Geo-Caching & a riddle-based scavenger hunt (app) that puts their map-reading & vocabulary skills to the test!

HISTORICAL SITES SURROUNDED BY NATURE. Eastern Oklahoma has impressively preserved it's rich history dating back to ancient civilization & we are excited for you to experience it!

From Vikings' hieroglyphs to outlaws hiding in caves to the ancient Spiro people that had an impressively advanced civilization, you'll love the incredible day-trip potential.

The only problem will be fitting it all in! Shucks. Maybe you'll have to extend your vacation to experience it all ;)

HEALTHY RESTAURANTS. As a homeschooler, you understand the importance of fueling your family's bodies with nutritious food, not just their minds with wholesome truth. And this doesn't stop at vacation.

Although there's plenty of comfort-food restaurants to indulge in, rest assured there are some healthy ones too! Which I detail for you in this guide.

OUTDOOR FUN IN CARLTON LANDING. If you desire to stay close to (your vacation) home, rest assured there will be AMPLE fun to be had.

Carlton Landing is contained & isolated far from the highway, making it a very safe place for your children to explore ahead of you.

Whether on land or water, whether sports (like Bocce ball or Pickle Ball) or nature-based exploring (like playing in the sand or collecting clams), your kids will have more than enough to fill their fun buckets!

WHY YOU'LL LOVE STAYING AT THE LODGE IN CARLTON LANDING.

The Lodge is spacious yet cozy, kid-friendly, & low-tox/fragrance free. You'll love the vintage element that creates a nostalgia.

Parents will love sharing some of their childhood favorites with their kids, such as Super Mario Brothers, foosball & vinyl records. 


We sprinkle baskets of books throughout & stock The Lodge with games galore + toys like Calico Critters & Legos for quiet play to unwind after a fun-filled day.

We also stock the kitchen with every imaginable item so you can cook meals as if you're at home.

WHAT IF YOUR HUSBAND CAN'T COME?

Many jobs these days are flexible & husbands can work remote. But others can't or they must stay at home to care for the homestead.

One fun idea is to plan a friend-cation with your favorite homeschool families! For the kids, it's like one giant playdate but you moms have each other to talk to while prepping food & walking about!

The Lodge can sleep up to 12, which, depending on the size of the families COULD hold 3 families, which splits this vacation THREE ways (PLUS the 30% you'll save booking direct with our homeschool discount)!

As Michael Scott would say, it's a WIN WIN WIN.
