I got this link in a book from homeschoolestore.com. Here's a quote from the book:
This non-profit organization was started to ease the
planning and coordination of field trips for schools but their resources are
available to any teacher, school or home educator. All you have to do is register,
check the opportunities available, pick your field trip and voila—it’s set
up. In most cases, there are supplemental texts given to prepare the students.
I have set up a number of these field trips and have yet to be disappointed.
The guides are very knowledgeable, patient and take the time needed to
answer questions. The kids usually walk away with a “goodie bag” related to
the business. We’ve come home with coupons for a free Beta fish, toy cars,
samples of products, flashlights, pens and pencils, just to name a few!
We live in a very small town and there are actually 2 trips available!!!
