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 a Christian co-op in Coppell for children K - 2nd grade and their younger siblings. We are a group of homeschooling parents who would like to together provide our kids with a wide and generous education in a way that we wouldn’t be able to do alone.

We offer extra-curricular/enrichment classes to compliment the core courses children are working on at home. Example classes are nature study, artist study, composer study, and the art of narration. 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.

Maple Grove, MN

Northwest Twin Cities Reading Group

We are Christian women who gather monthly for fellowship around the truths that spur us on to love and good deeds in our homeschooling endeavors. We meet each month either in Maple Grove or Albertville. Starting in the Fall of 2023 we will be reading Charlotte Mason's Volume 6 "A Philosophy of Education".

Bethlehem, PA

Charlotte Mason Meetup (Lehigh Valley, PA)

The Charlotte Mason Meetup of the Lehigh Valley (PA) offers regular book discussion for parents (currently Volume V) while children play and explore, as well as less structured social time in which we discuss topics of interest to the group, whether specifics of the CM method, book recommendations, planning and scheduling, or other relevant topics. Our purpose is to support each other as we learn about and implement Mason’s methods in our homes and schools, and this group is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about CM in community with other homeschoolers who are learning and growing together. We’ll be starting Volume VI, Toward A Philosophy of Education, this fall (2023); this volume is a great place to start for those new to Charlotte Mason as well as those with more experience.

We meet on Monday afternoons at parks around the Lehigh Valley; please contact us with any questions or for more information about how to join us.
