Birmingham Homeschoolers Community

Join us for a traditional Easter egg hunt as well as spring fun! Bring plastic eggs (with or without goodies inside) and baskets for the egg hunt, and bring a prepackaged spring treat/drink to share (or bring your own snack for your children). Teens and older students can help with egg hiding if they prefer. Dads often join us on this day too! Bring kites and sport equipment for free time. Hopefully, we will have beautiful weather, but we will meet rain or shine and hide eggs under the pavilion if needed! For those who haven’t joined us in the past, we do hide tickets in eggs to redeem for prizes after the egg hunt.  And here is our normal schedule: 1-1:30 pm – Families arrive and drop off eggs at designated area. 1:30-2 pm –  Teens/Dads hide eggs at a designated location while children play or eat. We gather in grade level groupings for the egg hunt at 2pm. After the egg hunt, students look through their collected eggs for tickets and goodies.  Empty eggs can be donated to BHC for use in the next year’s hunt, or you can take your collections home.  The tickets are marked, and students will return to their age/grade level egg hunt area with their tickets to claim their prizes.

Join us for a wonderful afternoon of fun, fellowship, and food.  The greater homeschool community is coming together to play games, share resources, and enjoy connecting together. Essential is sponsoring a parents vs. students kickball game, and other organizations will be present with other activities. There will be activities for all ages.

Share your knowledge and experiments! We are excited to offer the BHC Science Fair for the 2023-2024 school year for all ages and grade levels as well. We do require you to register your student’s project by January 23rd if possible. The $5 registration fee will help BHC cover the expenses of the venue, judges, and prizes – yes, this event includes some friendly competition! Visit the event website for details and for registration.

We are arranging a special group skate day! So excited to get everyone together for icy fun! Price includes skate rental, and we will be in the Practice Arena. Pre-Pay Admissions for Group Rate – we can’t guarantee group rate will be honored that day at the box office. Invite friends and make it special outing together and meet for food before or after! Visit BHC Website to secure your skater's admissions - and don't forget the Essential discount code!

Join us for perhaps the largest valentine swap in the world!  (Come and see if we are exaggerating) It's not required, but visit the BHC website to RSVP to give leadership an idea of all who will be there. Get creative with your valentine boxes.  There will be prizes awarded for the most creative ones! Please know that a simple box is fine for collecting a ton of greetings – no reason to not come due to lack of time to create a special box. Valentine boxes should be dropped off by 1:45 so that they are ready for valentine delivery and judging. Valentines may be delivered any time between 2:00-2:45. Please prepare at least 50 valentines to deliver! If you want to create more, that’s fine; we’ve found that 50 is about right in order to have plenty to give out. Lawn chairs and picnic blankets are encouraged for visiting in the open area at this park.  Please be sensitive when bringing snacks for those who have severe allergies. If you win a prize for your valentine box, don’t forget to find a BHC representative to get a goody from our prize box. If your organization would like to sponsor a BHC community event, please CLICK HERE for more information.

*RAIN PLAN* If it is actively raining or if there are thunderstorms, we will cancel this event. Please watch our social media posts on Friday morning.
