FALL 2026 FIELD TRIPS
Homeschool Roster has opened registration for the fall 2026 field trip and event season! Oh, the places we are going and the things we are going to do. So far, it’s looking like another exciting year with education, new and some familiar destinations, and of course, a whole lot of fun. We kick off the season with the annual Homeschool Roster Back-to-Homeschool Splash. There are two dates, July 31 and August 14. Be sure to not miss that event. There will be a prom and graduation, and the Homeschool Roster Rockin’ Sock Hop has been added to the field trip and event schedule. Everyone had such a wonderful time at the last Rockin’ Sock Hop. I am looking forward to doing is again. Be sure to Join the Homeschool Roster – Get Out of the House group, so you do not miss any updates.
