Annual kickoff

Family Carnival

The big one — games, a silent auction, concessions, and prizes to kick off every new school year. It's our only event open to the public, and the whole community shows up.

Monthly

Field Trips

A field trip nearly every month through the school year. Members enjoy perks and group discounts; each trip has its own separate cost, so you only pay for the ones your family joins.

Program

Our civics program for students — learning how government works up close, with meetings, mock proceedings, and projects through the year.

Tell us about it

Know about a local event?

A museum day, a homeschool skate, a living-history weekend — if you know of something local our families would love, send it our way and we'll look at adding it to the calendar.
