Homeschooling Field Trip Ideas: Adventure!
Homeschooling field trip ideas open the door to an endless variety of adventures...and it's never too early to begin planning. Participation in trips can be enjoyed in several ways. A family can:
*plan its own excursion *participate in community club activities for homeschool students (YMCA, library, local Parks and Recreation Department, nature center, etc.) *join with a homeschool support group *do all three! --Most homeschoolers participate as families. --Most Chambers of Commerce have lists of interesting places. Contact and tour information is provided. Also check the yellow pages and local paper. --Most facilities welcome visitors. --Make reservations well ahead of time and stay in close contact with the person making arrangements for the facility. --Note--if you're going with a homeschool co-op--Usually almost all of the Moms accompany their children on the homeschooling field trips.

For lots of folks, you are the face of homeschoolers. --Afterwards, be sure to send a "Thank You."
