springmama Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Pool party, day at a lake, scavenger hunt, carnival.... I guess it would depend on the size of your group and what is available in your town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Last year our group meet at the roller rink for a Sat. morning. They received a special group rate and the rink allowed them to bring in snacks. So fun! I just looked at our calendar and they are doing it again this year. It is on the Sat. before our co-op classes start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 These are some great ideas. I saw somewhere that a homeschool group had a used curriculum sale to kick of the year. Any more ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 We invite various extracirricular activity leaders to set up booths showing off what is available for our kids throughout the year. It a great time to sign up for things we already knew about and find new things to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairnmama Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Personally, I don't think our kick-off would work in Ohio.... but we have a sand-sculpture day at the beach and sign yearbooks.:D In previous years, though, we would hold a field day where everyone participated in relays and contests and won ribbons. It was open to non-members as well and we charged a very small ($3) fee to help cover the costs of food, ribbons, equipment rental, etc. But, the CC group in town had a car wash/used book sale to raise funds for things their group wants to do this coming year, let members get a little cash from selling their unused books, and also spread the word about their group.

nutmeg Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 What we call our Kick-Off is a Moms-only events. It is a potluck night where we get to meet new members, connect with old friends, and take one collective deep breath as we plunge into a new school year. :D We do not have a specific event for the whole family, although many of us meet up to attend the 'homeschool day' at the local amusement park a couple weeks later.

MamaT Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Like a previous poster, we meet for a day at the skating rink. It is reserved for just our group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterbabs Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Our group does a big picnic every year; have you considered something like Peak Experiences (indoor rock climbing - tons of fun!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 My last one had a big not back to school breakfast. I am new to this area and schools don't start until Sept so I am not sure what the few groups I am in will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfside Academy Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 We do an all-family bonfire at the beach. Since you don't have an ocean, are there any lakes in your area?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I think ours is a mom's event. I'm new to the group so, we'll see what it brings! I know, that was NO help for you, lol, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
