Although not formal classroom courses, our programs offer hands-on learning, meaningful experiences, and community connections for your entire family.

Your CHC Membership includes:
 • Weekly Thursday Activities (2:30–4:00 pm, September–May)

Question 8

Am I required to RSVP?

Accepted Answer

While you are not required to RSVP, we appreciate your thoughtfulness in doing so.

By RSVPing, you will help us plan to have enough supplies to accommodate all attendees. RSVPs also allow us to prepare our space to accommodate all who plan to attend (and cancel if there is insufficient interest). In addition, knowing of your planned attendance allows us to check if you are okay and if you need prayer or assistance if you don't make it to an event you planned to attend.

RSVPing is easy! You can let us know by responding on our website calendar or (if you are a member) by commenting on the Facebook group events/posts, or by responding "# planning to attend" in our CHC Members Signal group via the Signal App on your phone. Choose the method that works best for you!

Question 9

Can I bring all of my children?

Accepted Answer

We offer a wide variety of opportunities for all ages, providing numerous ways to connect, grow, and enjoy the benefits of membership.

Registration includes:

• Weekly Thursday Activities (September–May, 2:30–4:00 p.m.)
 • Community Events (free for members; $5/family for non-members)
 • CHC Moms Connect Meetups
 • Exciting Excursions (field trips)
 • Outdoor Adventures
 • Free childcare for little ones (ages 0–4) during our Thursday 2:30-4:00 p.m. meetups at Pikes Peak Christian Church
 • Exclusive opportunity to register your children (ages 10+) for the LEGO Robotics Team ($100/child)

Our Thursday afternoon meetups are designed to encourage parents and their K5–12th grade students in both fellowship and discipleship. Each activity is intentionally geared toward school-aged children and integrates a biblical worldview into lessons, discussions, and projects. We believe this honors both Titus 2:4-5 (discipleship and encouragement for parents) and Proverbs 22:6 (training up children in the way they should go).

To make this possible, parents stay with their K5–12th grade students in our designated area, where they can lend a hand as needed and enjoy connecting with other parents while their children learn and engage together.

At the same time, we want to bless families by caring for our youngest children in a dedicated (and free!) childcare program for ages 0–4. This program, led by approved helpers who have completed background checks and training, provides a safe and nurturing environment just for little ones. (Exception: nursing babies up to 6 months are welcome to stay with their moms.)

And of course, we love gathering our whole families together, too! That’s why we offer field trips, where parents and children of all ages (from newborn to high school) can learn and explore together. We also offer Moms Connect meetups and hikes. (And when our good Father provides someone who would like to help coordinate other interest groups, we will be excited to explore those options as well — if you feel called to help with this, let us know!)

We also offer a LEGO Robotics Team, available exclusively to CHC members whose children (ages 10+) are interested in joining (for an additional fee). The team meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays, September through May, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m.

Question 10

Can I drop off my children?

Accepted Answer

Our group is designed so that parents or guardians are responsible for and participate alongside their children, which means we do not accept drop-offs at our regular meetups. You’re welcome — and encouraged — to join in the fun and connect with other families. Plus, we really want the chance to get to know you, too! 😀

Exception: Our CHC LEGO Robotics Team does allow drop-offs for registered participants.

Question 11

Can I arrive late or leave early?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! As homeschool parents ourselves, we understand that sometimes you may need to arrive late or leave early. That’s why we’re a flexible group designed to fit your family’s schedule—you don’t need to attend the entire timeframe of each activity.

For workshops or structured activities, we simply ask that you be considerate of others by sitting near the back or close to an exit, so you can slip out with minimal interruption.

Question 12

Can my registration be pro-rated or refunded?

Accepted Answer

Membership begins each school year on September 1st.

Please note that membership rates remain the same regardless of when you register, and memberships are non-refundable.

Your CHC Membership is packed with value for your whole family!

Registration includes:

• Weekly Thursday Activities (September–May, 2:30–4:00 pm)
 • Community Events (free for members; $5/family for non-members)
 • CHC Moms Connect Meetups
 • Exciting Excursions (field trips)
 • Outdoor Adventures
 • Free childcare for little ones (ages 0–4) during Thursday meetups at Pikes Peak Christian Church
 • Exclusive opportunity to register your children (ages 10+) for the LEGO Robotics Team ($100/child)

Because we offer a wide variety of opportunities for families of all ages, and since 100% of membership fees go directly back into supplies, activities, and group expenses, we’re unable to offer refunds. Our leaders also give generously of their time, energy, and often their own resources to keep things running smoothly. We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue serving an ever-growing community of homeschooling families.

(The same no-pro-rated fees and no-refund policy applies to the LEGO Robotics Team since the registration fee is fully used to purchase the robots for teaching your kids, and our leaders also give generously of their time, energy, and often their own resources to keep the LEGO Robotics Team running smoothly.
