I don't know anything about a home study group-my children didn't want anything like that...others may know more.
Local HE groups do go quiet at this time of year...we all get wrapped up in other stuff.
What does she want to do...it IS very hard at first to get used to not being spoon fed with what she has to do next.
What would she do if on holiday from school?
When our children declared they were bored (which they did at first) we just kept reflecting back to them, what did they want to do next.
We made lists of all the things they would be interested in doing over the coming months, but I didn't direct them.
Eventually they came through the boredom and started to come up with stuff...
There is a book (I bet everyone who has read posts from me knows what I am going to say) called "The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education" by Grace Llewellyn.
Written for teens, I'd suggest she reads it first and then you...to give you ideas of the freedoms and opportunities that HE can bring.
Even if she chooses to put a structure into her HE life, this may well give her ideas.....

One review says "Beautifully illustrated by Bethan, Wendy and Samuel Lewis, Unqualified Education continues in a similar friendly, down-to-earth, and approachable style to One-to-One: A Practical Guide to Learning at Home, Age 0-11 (watch out for the review and excerpt in the next issue).
Unqualified Education is both a parent's guide to home education with an emphasis on self-directed, self-motivated and enthusiastic learning, and a mini-text book, complete with lesson plans, reminiscent of the excellent Waldorf Oak Meadow curriculum books.
Gareth covers every subject and offers useful teaching advice, helpful hints, lesson guides, practical information, and clear guidelines that will enrich the learning experience. The fantastic black and white line drawings are delightful and will encourage children to use this book.
Ideas and information for studies in Literature, History, Geography, Languages, Science, Technology, Music, Mathematics, Art and Craft can be used as a springboard to further explorations, with Cooking and Gardening covered in two separate chapters. Gareth peppers the text with sensible home educating advice and tips, a devotes a final chapter to practical matters such as Timetables, Curriculum, Qualifications, Work and Employment. Unlike many home education books which list specific resources, the chapter Educational Resources covers the basics, such as the Internet, television, libraries, etc, and how they can be used to enhance your learning program."
