These Official Rules govern the Homeschool Travel Club Giveaway (the “Sweepstakes”). Participation constitutes full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules.

The Sweepstakes begins on May 18th, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST and ends on May 31st, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST (the “Entry Period”). Sponsor’s computer or systems are the official time-keeping device for the Sweepstakes.
4. How to enter
A. Primary method of entry
During the Entry Period, eligible individuals may enter the Sweepstakes as follows:

Limit 1 entry per person during the Entry Period, regardless of method of entry. Entries generated by script, macro, or other automated means are void.
B. Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE) – Email Entry
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A purchase, booking, or payment does not increase your chances of winning.
To enter the Sweepstakes without belonging to our group or making any purchase, eligible individuals may submit an Alternate Method of Entry (“AMOE”) by sending an email during the Entry Period to:
hello@homeschool-travel.com
Subject line: “Homeschool Travel Club Giveaway – AMOE Entry”
Your email must include the following information:
- Full legal name
- Mailing address
- Phone number
- Email address
- Date of birth
- The following statement: “I am submitting this as my Alternate Method of Entry for the Homeschool Travel Club Giveaway.”
Each valid AMOE email received during the Entry Period will count as one (1) entry. Limit 1 AMOE entry per person, matching the maximum number of entries permitted through the primary method of entry.
Automated, bulk, mass, or third‑party submissions are prohibited and will be void. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, delayed, misdirected, or undeliverable email entries.

Number of Prizes: 1
Description of Prize(s): One complimentary night stay at the winning Great Wolf Lodge location during the designated Sonlight Homeschool Days dates only.

Prizes are non-transferable, non-refundable, and may not be substituted or redeemed for cash, except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable for any reason. Any difference between the stated ARV and the actual value of the prize will not be awarded. Transportation, upgrades, parking, meals, taxes, and/or additional guests are not included in the prize. This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Facebook or Great Wolf Lodge.
6. Odds of winning
Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period.
7. Winner selection and notification
On or about June 2nd by 11:59 PM EST, Sponsor (or its designee) will select the potential winner(s) in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received who voted for the winning lodge. The drawing will be conducted in accordance with these Official Rules and Sponsor’s decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes.
Potential winner(s) will be notified by post in our Homeschool Travel Club Group using the contact information provided at the time of entry, within approximately 3 business days after the drawing. Potential winner(s) may be required to complete, sign, and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release, and, where lawful, a Publicity Release, and any required tax forms (e.g., IRS Form W-9) within 5 days of notification.
If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to respond within the required time, fails to complete and return required documentation, is found to be ineligible, or declines the prize, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected from among the remaining eligible entries, time permitting.
8. Taxes and reporting
All federal, state, and local taxes, and any other costs and expenses associated with acceptance and use of a prize not expressly stated in these Official Rules are the sole responsibility of the winner. Sponsor may issue an IRS Form 1099 or other applicable tax reporting document for the value of the prize as required by law. Winners should consult their own tax advisors.
9. Publicity
Where permitted by law, participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes each entrant’s consent for Sponsor and its designees to use entrant’s name, city and state of residence, likeness, voice, biographical information, and statements about the Sweepstakes for advertising, promotional, and other purposes, in any media now known or hereafter developed, worldwide, without additional notice, approval, or compensation.
10. Release and limitation of liability
By participating, entrants agree to release and hold harmless Sponsor, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising and promotion agencies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or in connection with participation in the Sweepstakes or the acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any prize, including, without limitation, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of property.
