Virtual Field Trips & Events
Our Traveling Homeschoolers auxiliary membership is for families who want to participate in the virtual field trips and special events offered by our sister site, Carolina Homeschooler.
Carolina Homeschooler families pay a yearly membership fee that supports and subsidizes virtual field trips and special events. Traveling Homeschoolers’ auxiliary membership covers your share of that fee.
If there’s enough interest, I’ll create more experiences and opportunities specifically for Traveling Homeschooler members.
2021-2022 Membership Fee
Our auxiliary membership fee for the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year is $49 per family. This fee covers membership through May 31, 2022. (Your membership will expire after that.)
NOTE: Before applying for membership, please read the FAQs below.
FAQs
Will your group trips (Disney World, Universal, Washington DC, road trips, river cruises, international trips, rail journeys, etc.) require membership?
My group trips don’t require membership. Auxiliary membership is for families who want to participate in my Carolina Homeschooler virtual field trips and special events.
After I pay for auxiliary membership, will the virtual field trips and special events be free?
Most virtual field trips will incur a nominal, per-family administrative fee. It’s usually $5 for each event, the same as what’s charged for our sister site, Carolina Homeschooler. Sometimes the fee will be higher, depending on the organization and complexity of the event.
Our in-person special events will cost whatever the event charges, plus a per-person administrative fee.
Are membership fees refundable? Are administrative fees refundable?
Membership and administrative fees are not refundable for any reason.
Can I get a membership for my homeschool co-op, learning pod, support group, etc.?
Traveling Homeschoolers serves families, not groups. Each family within your group (co-op, learning pod, support group, etc.) will need to have their own membership to participate.
