  • Columbia Gorge Home Learners Network
    We are a group of families in the Columbia Gorge that homeschool our children. We meet at least once a week for group activities such as plays, sports and general play. We also organize field trips on an ad hoc basis. The parents support each other by sharing methods, experiences and food.
    We welcome families that are considering or currently are homeschooling. Our members come from Underwood, White Salmon and Bingen, Washington and Hood River, Odell, Mosier and Parkdale, Oregon.
