I’ve learned from other homeschoolers just how wonderful it can be to organize your own activities. Some homeschool parents are very skilled at creating a class or activity they want for their kids. As an introvert, I am quite amazed and envious at their abilities!

But here’s what you need to know:

So many organizations routinely run school field trips that it’s almost no difference for them if you want to schedule a homeschooler trip. And they often have dedicated staff for you to contact to get the ball rolling.

Probably every recurring homeschool event at an organization was started by a single homeschool parent with a good idea and enough interested people to come along.

I know of parents who started a homeschool gym class at a local YMCA, parents who created an Artful Adventure with unique content, parents who arranged for field trips to the Massachusetts Historical Society, parents who contracted a tutor to lead a group class on Shakespeare, parents who organized a free fishing class through the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife, parents who organized a Model UN club.

We’re probably only limited by our imaginations – and introverted tendencies, lol!

So go out there and create what you need for your homeschool! You can do it!!!!
