Relocating to Denver

[Michele]

We are in the process of relocating to Denver from Dallas and we will begin homeschooling when we get there (new adventure for us). We have 3 sons and I'm trying to locate some homeschooling support groups and co-ops that can help us get started. We are currently looking for houses in the Jefferson county area - Evergreen, Morrison, etc. Is this too far out from where most of your events take place?

Thanks so much,
Michele

It really isnt, but it depends how much driving you are wanting to do. I drive to Evergreen once a week and from my house its about 30 min in heavy traffic (Friday nights, when all the skiers and campers are going to the mountains). Morrison would be closer than Evergreen. I live in about the middle of alot of our activities (west edge of Centennial). We have alot of members that are in southern Jeffco.

Our group is also all run and planned by members, so if you plan an activity it can be in your area. Our family travels all over for activities and I know we are not the only ones

Hi Michele!

We have 3 boys as well, aged 17, 10, and almost 6
(plus a girl, just turned 2!) and I'm wondering how
old yours are!!!

To answer your question, I echo Aimee's response.
For us driving is no big deal. We are renting in
Centennial, about 10 minutes south of Aimee, for
the next 1-2 years, then looking to buy in the area
you mention!!!

We drive to Golden once a week, and that takes
about 35 minutes, and we drive to Broomfield
once a month, sometimes twice, and that's 45.

Most of the MHHer's are centered in the Littleton
Centennial area, I'm pretty sure, but I know
one very active family who lives in Aurora. I'm
pretty new (since Summer '08) to both MHH
and Denver, so I'm not the best person to
answer, I guess!

In short, we homeschool, will travel!!!

Hope to meet you soon,
Kate
