Skylands Homeschooling Community (SHC) is a support and activity group for homeschooling families in the New Jersey Skylands area -- Hunterdon, Warren, Morris & Sussex Counties. Our mission is to give our children and ourselves the opportunity to share ideas, friendships and educational activities.

While we do not have a formal meeting time, members meet often for field trips, playgroups, park days, and educational activities.

There are more than 225 families in our group and we correspond through a Yahoo email list. To sign up, visit our Yahoo Groups site. Please contact us if you have questions.

Upcoming activities include:

• The Science of Sliding: Enjoy a day of snow tubing at Blue Mountain and learn about the physics behind tubing! Grades 7+. This event is currently being organized for a weekday in February 2012. Contact Shannon for more info.
