Alpaca 101*
Scientifically wired? We get into the dirty side of ranching, learn how “llama beans” (feces) are prepared and studied under a microscope, identify different parasites, and discuss how composting is a renewable source for farming.
Bread Making and Furniture Making Tour and Demonstration*
We will tour a bakery and a furniture store. Activities include a history lesson, bread making process, and learning about furniture construction.
REGISTRATION OPENS IN LATE MARCH.
C.H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa*
We will spend a day of exploration learning about Native American sports and hunting through prehistoric games and hunting techniques with chunky and spear throwing with atlatls. A scavenger hunt, tour of the village site, a trip to the hands-on archaeology lab, and a painting craft.

From Soil to Sprout – An Organic Farm Tour*
Students will learn how to grow food in ways that build community and increase the neighborhood’s access to healthy foods. The goal is to teach students to become healthy eaters, entrepreneurs, and advocates for social and environmental justice. We get to do some taste testing and depending on what is ready to harvest, will make salad to eat.
Memphis Riverboat Tour*
We are going cruising and will learn a bit of history along the way from a Riverlorian. The cruise takes us on a seven to 10 mile round trip tour staying in the Downtown Memphis Riverfront area. It will start at the south towards Presidents Island, turning north traveling near the Wolf River tributary and then set final heading south returning to dock.
REGISTRATION OPENS IN LATE MARCH.
Metal Museum*
We are headed to the Metal Museum for a guided tour of the museum, bladesmithing demonstration and use a stylus tool for hands-on creativity with copper to make your own low relief, 2-D drawings to create patterns and textures on metal. You will be able to take your creation home. You may do the tour, demonstration and hands-on activity or just the tour and demonstration.
Rockland Road**
Rockland Road is a vocal-driven, melodic band with a signature sound as rich and authentic as its namesake.
SoundWaves**
Heading to SoundWaves is like going to an awesome beach party, except it is indoors. Homeschool Roster is heading to SoundWaves, the four-acre indoor water experience at the Gaylord. It touts “This is not a waterpark. This is a classroom with a splash”! That totally works for me. This will be an enjoyable day for all ages on attractions that include the Quarter Note Cove, Groovin’ Lagoon Activity Pool, Crowd Surfer and more. During the field trip, we will only have access to the indoor attractions at SoundWaves.
Spring Fun on the Farm at Falcon Ridge**
Going to Falcon Ridge Farm is a Homeschool Roster favorite. The same fun we have in the fall on the farm will be had this spring, so make plans to go with us. The field trip includes a hayride, a romp in our country playground and a chance to meet resident farm animals. Visitors will “enjoy a hayride out to the Easter Egg Field, where the children will hunt and find prize-filled Easter Eggs. Get photos made with the Easter Bunny. Visit our furry and feathery friends and so much more – enjoy spring on the farm!”
REGISTRATION OPENS IN MID MARCH.
To Kill a Mockingbird*
It’s 1935, and racial tensions are high in Maycomb, Alabama. Nonetheless, young Jean Louise Finch – or Scout, as she is fondly called – manages to live a rather carefree, privileged existence, insulated from issues of race. All that changes when Scout watches her father, Atticus Finch, defend an innocent man, Tom Robinson, against a potential death sentence, which looms threateningly against him because of prejudice due to race.
