Co-Ops/ Groups
This is a list of Co-Ops, educational groups and social groups that get together statewide.
'Tween HomeSchool Meetups, Co-Op, Extracurricular Events
Low Country
'Tweens (age 9 to 14) are in a unique age group and we saw a need for meetups specifically for them! They still want to play, explore and have fun... but yet want to flex their independence a bit with their peers. The goal of this group is to connect home school 'tweens, fostering space for relationships to grow and to support friendships that are built with time.
We will plan to have regularly scheduled "meetups" of popular activities at the same locations so kids can feel comfortable to explore the area and build familiarity with each other.
If you are the organizer of the activity, try to have something red to notify people where to meet.... red shirts, red balloons, red construction paper....
Original members of this group are located on James Island, but friends from all over town are welcome to attend meetups.

Calabash Area Christian Home Educators (CACHE)
Pee Dee
We are a local homeschool support group, here to help meet the needs of families choosing parent-directed home education as an alternative to public or private schools.
We exist to help families connect to each other, share events or opportunities, and support each other on the homeschooling journey. Our activities frequently take place between Little River and Shallotte, but sometimes extend farther out.
We come from many denominational backgrounds and homeschool for varied reasons. Beyond homeschooling, our common bond is our desire to honor the Lord GOD through our families and the education of our children, as we uphold biblical principles.
ANY homeschooling family is welcome to join us for any activity, please just understand upfront the majority of the members are coming from a Christian background/worldview - many of our meetings and events will open with prayer and our discussions and and encouragement will often include prayer, etc.
Group members are invited to plan field trips, classes, etc., as they meet their own families' needs, and share any open opportunities with the group. Just like a family, we function best when everyone does a little bit!
