We are so excited to be able to hold our Homeschool Weekend once again! Please note changes that are being made. We are no longer partnering with Silver Dollar City. God has opened doors for us and we are thankful for the new doors He is opening.
We hope that you will be able to join us for the whole weekend but you are able to join us for all of it or for the parts that you would like to do. All tickets must be purchased by August 1, 2022.
Please, DO NOT CALL the different venues with your questions. The arrangements have been specially made for us and the ticket offices do not have that information. Contact us if you have questions.
We have blocked 20 rooms at Rodeway Inn (The Brick House Hotel) in Branson for Wednesday thru Saturday night. Must call the number below with our group name.
Please pass this information around to your homeschooling friends! This is open to all homeschoolers throughout the USA.
You MUST have a student/teacher ID when checking in. ALL MATCH members can get a free one on the members site. If you aren't a member, please contact me after you make your reservation and we will help you get one.

Wacky Walks is a royalty themed scavenger hunt. It is similar to a board game, in which the power, or control, of the game shifts from one player to another and instead of a board, you'll be exploring the streets of your city with your smartphone to complete the game.
The objective of the game is to have fun, find some cool places in Branson, and enjoy the company of whoever you are playing with. Wacky Walks will start out by designating who will be the first King or Queen. The Royal Highness will then direct the other players to locate items and participate in challenges throughout the kingdom (Branson). You'll use our scavenger hunt app to prove you've found correct items and completed the challenges correctly. MATCH will have its own private app so all posts will be only available to those that are playing from MATCH's group. We want to get everyone involved and have some fun and learn new things about Branson.
Wacky Walks is done completely on foot and usually takes about two hours to complete. But don’t worry, you won’t be alone. You’ll have a remote/virtual guide that will be available in case you get stuck.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium features the largest collection of the odd and unusual from all corners of the world.
See a genuine shrunken head, see how you measure up to the world’s tallest man, and a two-headed calf!
Join Ripley’s on a journey through the strange, the bizarre and the downright unbelievable!
Believe it or not, you can take a bit of the Ripley’s Odditorium home with you. Everyone will get a collection book. It features incredible full-colored photos of our eye-popping exhibits. From Ripley-fied activities and strange facts, you’ll never want to put this book down!
Shanghai Circus (featured by Amazing Acrobats of Shanghai, celebrating 22 years in Branson) parades a new production to audiences exercising more variety than ever before witnessed. The show honors the essence of the old historic Shanghai Culture through the dynamic artists’ dazzling performances which includes but not limited to breathtaking acrobatics, colorful dance, comedy, mystifying magic, and numerous aerial feats of strength. Shanghai Circus will deliver a higher level of entertainment by combining stage LED technological innovations with exceptional artistic performances.
Children ages 0-3 are free but must sit on a parents lap.
Keep your PayPal receipt as confirmation. All sales are final, NO REFUNDS!
