About Us
We are a homeschool social group with the goal of building lifelong friendships for our children and parents. The 2026-2027 school year will be our 5th year!
- WHO: Kids age 0-16.
- WHAT: Alternating park days with outdoor spaces and events.
- WHEN: Meetups are held weekly on Fridays from 12pm to 3pm year-round.
- WHERE: The majority of our outings are in or near Caldwell County (Lenoir, Hudson, and Granite Falls), Burke County (Morganton and Valdese), and the Forest Hills area of Hickory.
- WHY: To build lifelong friendships for our children and parents.
Here's a little more about our current schedule. We rotate park - outdoors - park - event.
- Park: Free play on playground or with sports equipment, chat, and picnic lunch.
- Outdoors: Free play with sports equipment, hike, walk, explore, water play, chat, and picnic lunch.
- Events: Organized and planned meetup that could be a party, cookout, games, or a competition. Usually we have a potluck and some special activities. Parents must assist, and there may be additional fees. Optional.
- Activities: Planned interest based activites may include crafts, games, or tours. Typically the hour before group time.

Alternatives: As we have a web page, we're easier to find than most homeschooling groups. Many find us first, and while we're not really what they are looking for, they don't know where else to look. If this is you: NCHE (North Carolinians for Home Education) has local meetup and links to local Facebook groups; every county has 4H interest clubs; Trail Life and American Heritage Girls are Christian scouts. Ask in your county's homeschool Facebook group about local groups, or search keywords like co-op, group, park, class, meetup, and play. Good luck!
