Yesterday, I received this eMail describing an event taking place in the United States, from Joy, volunteer coordinator for Homeschool Nations - Maryland! It sounded like such a good idea that I had to pass it along! Should your group decide to pick up the ball and run with this idea, let me know, so I can get the word out!

Plan an Annual Homeschool Hiking/Biking Event in May

The woods and trails are gorgeous in the spring of year, so come join
all homeschoolers across the US and World in a national hike/bike
event. Here is all the info, but if an event has not been set up in
your area, please just go out and get involved on your own.

The Homeschool Hiking/Biking annual event began in May 2005 as a way
to gain recognition for homeschooling, as well as getting some
exercise, group involvement, and introducing other homeschooling
families to hiking and biking in the great outdoors and meet
others!! It is an annual event now and will be held each year the
last full week in May. We are asking for individuals and groups
involved in homeschooling to set up events in their areas. You may
make your event in varying skill levels if you would like, for
homeschoolers with varying skills. Maybe one person or group in your
area can set up a hiking event and another can set up the biking
event. Or you may want to work with many homeschooling groups to
have one big event. The possibilities are many and I would love to
hear your ideas. This year's dates are the week of May 25-31. The
woods and paths and trails are beautiful in the spring, so please
join us.
