Who We Are
CHEC is an informal homeschool support group in the greater Camden, SC area. Our purpose is to provide local homeschooling families with opportunities to support one another in the day-to-day challenges of homeschooling through our meetings and activities. If you are interested in joining CHEC, please fill out the "Contact Us" form to request a handbook. CHEC is NOT a third-option accountability association. You can find accountability associations and a copy of the homeschooling laws on the SCHEA website. Additional homeschooling links are on our Member News page. |
What We Do
CHEC's original and continuing vision is to offer mentorship and discipleship through Christ-centered homeschool support. CHEC has a statement of faith (SOF) and guidelines for behavior that we require for membership. In keeping with this SOF, everything we offer as a function of CHEC to our members is approached from a biblical viewpoint -- student co-ops, group events, special speakers, etc. Often, our small group discussions center around biblical answers for the issues we face as moms, wives, and homeschooling parents. If this is the kind of support you have been looking for, and you would like to join, please fill out our handbook request form. If you are looking for support from a different perspective, Carolina Homeschooler has support groups listed with their point of view, if known. |

How We Do It
Small groups are CHEC's vehicle through which members connect, bond and fellowship. HERE is where you will find the "support" of our support group! Small groups provide a setting in which moms can get to know each other. Generally, small groups have a monthly Moms-only meeting. They may also set up activities for the children of the small group members and "extra" activities for moms. Every group works best when members pitch in and chime in. Some groups have agendas and planned events, others just get together to chat. (There is almost always food!) Each group is free to organize by common consent in a way that meets the needs or preferences of its members. Members are free to participate in any or all of the small groups available, regardless of their location, and to request formation of new groups. |
Co-ops are classes or activities offered by CHEC members to CHEC members only, to enrich the experiences of our children through education or fellowship. Co-ops may be limited by age requirements, class size, or other criteria determined by the co-op leader. Field trips are planned by individual CHEC members. Age and capacity limits may apply. We have a monthly newsletter, distributed through our Yahoo loop, that includes group information. We also send reminders, updates, and community and class information through the loop. |
