What Field Trips Are Available to Homeschoolers?
The possibilities are endless. Homeschoolers have probably come up with more creative and out-of-the-way field trip explorations than most institutional schoolteachers have ever imagined – often because homeschool groups’ schedules are very flexible and because homeschoolers can often bring smaller groups of children and more adult supervisors than can the school class. Here are some examples: art museum, zoo (zoological garden), potato chip factory, fish processing plant, glass blowing studio, pottery studio, museum of science and industry, newspaper publishing company, television station, radio station, government capitol building, legislative/assembly/parliament offices, historic buildings, water sewage treatment plant, plant nursery, beef production ranch, farm, computer software company, shoemaker shop, candlemaker shop, butcher shop, florist shop, deep-sea fishing vessel, military base, military naval ship, and airport.
