FALL 2026 FIELD TRIPS
Homeschool Roster opened registration for its field trip season on July 1 and it has been busy. I am excited to see the number of registrations coming through for upcoming field trips! You all are definitely ready to “Get Out of the House” for learning and fun during 2026/2027. I only planned for two Back-to-Homeschool Splash field trips this year and now, we are up to four (and final). Check the field trip schedule to learn the dates and when registration opens for the newly added field trips.
Be sure to Join the Homeschool Roster – Get Out of the House group, so you do not miss any updates.
