Teens are developing independence from parents and looking to spend more time with their peers. If that sounds like your homeschooled teenager, then we’d love for them to join our monthly hangout! They'll spend time with other homeschooled teens, eat snacks, and enjoy a different activity each month.

In September, we’ll bring out all our beading supplies, and participants can create bag charms, key chains, or whatever else they are inspired to create!
