Summer Field Trips for Homeschoolers – Part Three

The final part of the Summer Field Trip Ideas for Homeschoolers series will focus on fun activities.

Although many of these activities will have an associated cost, they will definitely score big points with your children, one of the reasons they are on our list of summer field trips for homeschoolers.

These activities can range from miniature golf courses and rock climbing walls to horseback riding, sailing and roller skating.

First, determine if you want your summer field trip for your homeschoolers to focus on physical exercise or just plain fun.  If you choose exercise, think about kayaking, skating, boating, waterskiing, horseback riding and, for older children, even scuba diving!

If fun is more what you are looking for, consider water parks, amusement parks, and state fairs.  Many parks and state fairs offer a day that is discounted to the local population or offered with the purchase of meals or drinks at local restaurants.  Sometimes even “big box” stores such as Wal-Mart will have discount coupons at their check-out lanes for local events.

Remember, for the most successful summer field trip for your homeschooler, call ahead to determine hours and availability of food and drinks and, most importantly, have fun!
