Nature Group and Book Club in East Lewis County

Fall 2023 - We are starting a weekly nature co-op for homeschooling families - whether you use Charlotte Mason inspired books/curriculum in your home, or not! We will be meeting weekly through the school year for an explorative nature walk and free play, and ALSO meeting monthly for a book club and discussion group (book club is for parents but children are welcome to attend!).

Nature CO-op:
All ages are welcome here! Our weekly meetings will be loosely structured with optional nature journaling and more involved wilderness activities/skills for older children. We will be primarily meeting at my family's campground (just outside of Morton), and once a month we will have an off-site field trip to various outdoor locations. Our current meeting time is Friday mornings from 9am-12pm, but we are flexible and open to other suggestions! If you would like to join and can commit to coming weekly please let us know if there is a better time for you.

Book Club:
The club is held monthly, in my home, and children are welcome to join. We meet the second Monday of every month at 4pm for discussion and potluck - please bring a dish/snack to share :)

Coppell, TX

Bethel Schoolhouse

Bethel Schoolhouse is classical, Christian co-op in Coppell for children ages 0-Kindergarten (by September 2023). We want to form a group of homeschooling parents who would like to together provide our kids with a wide and generous curriculum in a way that we wouldn’t be able to do alone. Charlotte Mason said that if a family is like a nation, it should strive to “establish close and friendly relations with other nations; and that, not with one or two, but with many…” A co-op is an opportunity to do just that! Let’s be friends and work together.
