Do you meet with other homeschoolers?

[Boobah]

Do you have homeschool groups near you? Or even know other homeschoolers locally? I really recommend getting out there, my daughter loves knowing she isn't the only one!

I don't know any homeschoolers in my area,I would love to meet some maybe if I take the kiddos to the park I might meet some:)

I found some through my church, then found a secular group from there, then more and more! I had no idea there were so many!

 There are 2 co-ops locally, both are quite large.  I've never participated, large group things are very challenging with my autistic son.  I do know several families at our church that hs, so that helps.

We don't have any homeschoolers at our church,but I did find a Catholic group here and they said you don't have to be Catholic to join the group, but I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb and I don't want to feel uncomfortable, but I might give it a try.

This is our first year, but I started a homeschool group for our county using Facebook.  I already know all of them that joined, but FB allows us to communicate easier.

We are going to have our first meeting/get together the end of September.  This will allow all of us to get settled into a schedule..

 We see other homeschoolers almost every week!

We did the support group thing for our first several yrs then got tired of it and stopped.  Haven't done it for many yrs.  I do recommend it to new home educators though as it is such a help and encouragement.

 theres a lot of groups around here, and yes i know lots of other homeschoolers, everyone in our church also homeschools

I used to meet with my group 2-3x a week for park days, book club, creative writing club, art classes, science classes, geography club, game day, field trips, and celebrations.  Then even more meetups with just a few families for lunch, the park, a trip, or hanging at each others houses.

Now, though, we've scaled back a lot.  I am part of a new middle-schoolers group that does weekly field trips (and tours and classes), afternoon lunch get-togethers, and moms nights out.  Ds has a ton of friends on the block and at CCD, but feels a kinship with other homeschoolers.

Me and one of my friends started a co-op two years ago, and it has been a great addition to our homeschooling life.  Allows friendships and experiences we simply can't reproduce at home.  Look for one around your area!  They're great!
