Lighthouse Homeschool Co-op

Field Trip Opportunities 2026-2027

 

Hello Homeschoolers,

 

Lighthouse is excited to facilitate field trips during our academic year.  There are many exciting opportunities, and in most cases, significantly discounted educational rates.  This is a great way to integrate hands-on learning into your studies this year and explore the Granite State and beyond.  Curriculum connections including:  Science, nature studies, history, art, drama and more.  

 

Please read the information below to familiarize yourself with the protocol for sign-ups, payment, and field trip opportunities offered. For questions, contact information is provided below.  The majority of events have a link provided for further information - many facilities have supplemental information to maximize the learning experience.  Looking at each website provided is strongly recommended.  Once you are registered and paid, you will receive an email for each specific field trip in the week leading up to the field trip.    

 

Thank you,

Kelly White
