Field Trip Planning for Homeschoolers

Our homeschooling group plans multiple field trips each semester for homeschoolers of all ages. Although we also offer a private co-op that meets weekly, anyone can apply for and join our field trip group separately.

For $25 per family fall (August-December), Spring/Summer (January-July) $35 per family and Full year (August-August) $50 per family. You can join our adventures! This fee covers planning and communication, but not trip costs. We travel around Louisville and beyond, even occasionally visiting nearby states!

Why Consider Local Homeschool Field Trips for Your Family

Homeschool field trips are great for building community. Kids learn and play together, while parents connect with like-minded adults. These trips boost personal, educational, and social growth.

If joining the co-op is a bit too much of a commitment, you’re welcome to join us for our Field Trip adventures! This is a great way to connect with other local homeschooling families and to get out of the house with your kids!

We love helping homeschoolers expand their horizons with fun and engaging field trips and co-ops. Want to know more? Email us at peanutbutterandjellyhomeschool@gmail.com or sign up below.

Testimonials

Peanut Butter & Jelly co-op has been a wonderful addition to our homeschool education. The diverse and engaging topics that the leadership team plans for each semester compliment what we dive into at home. The parents’ involvement along with engaging, hands on, and collaborative activities throughout each class makes this co-op unique and exciting for my son.

-Virginia

We enjoy this every week. Leadership gives so much of their energy and time to making this fun for our kids. It is a loving environment. We see examples each week of others encouraging our child. The organization and communication is top notch!

-The Vandiver Family

Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Register your family using the form on Field Trips.
    2. After the Board sees you have been registered they will send a payment request to your VENMO.
    3. Once the VENMO request has been paid, a Board member will invite you into BAND.
    1. PB&J Homeschool uses VENMO only as their source of payment.
    2. A payment request will be sent to you once you join a field trip, we will calculate the processing fee VENMO takes out on the transaction. No refunds will be given.
    3. Please comment how many are attending so PB&J knows what to charge you.
    1. Depends on the field trip. Under the event, a description of the field trip with cost is given. It will give the cost per person, per student, per adult. Please look carefully when planning to attend a PB&J Field Trip. 
    1. BAND is our form of communication.  We set up a monthly reminder post of the upcoming field trips. 
    2. EVENTS is where you will find all the field trips and the description of those field trips.
    3. Joining is how you let PB&J know you are attending. Commenting on the event with how many adults and kiddos are joining in the fun helps PB&J know what to charge you.
    4. Paying on time assures you your spot on the field trip. PB&J gives a two week cut off prior to each field trip.
    5. BAND allows for communication in the field trip post or a private chat.  Send a message to Admin if you have any questions, we are happy to assist!

    7. As a member of PB&J Homeschool, your family is to adhere to the Guidelines of Etiquette for all field trips.

    1. Friends, no. If you are loving what PB&J Homeschool is providing for the Homeschool community, spread the love and recommend them to join the group. Extended family, yes to a point. Spouses, partners, OF COURSE! Grandparents, yes.  Please just let us know the quantity when paying for the field trip. Reach out to an ADMIN first to inquire about other family members.  If you know anyone who would love to be a part of our group, please let us know!
  1. This is the person that will be leading on the field trip, usually one of the amazing admins of PB&J Homeschool. This is the person that shows up early, meets with the staff of the field trip, organizes the chaos, and keeps the order.
    1. No. Do not contact the venue in regards to refunds, credits, rescheduling, or adding additional family members. If you have a question or issue, please contact PB&J Homeschool. We work with each individual venue to organize the field trip, get the best pricing, and coordinate all the details. Calling the venue after the fact to add a person looks bad on PB&J and could jeopardize the working relationship with the venue and PB&J Homeschool in the future. If while on a field trip you have an issue with a venue please let PB&J know so they can address the issue.
    2. For general information, like directions, or parking information, feel free to give the venue a call if need be. Otherwise, please contact us first. We link Google maps onto each field trip listing on Band, so you can plan accordingly.

    2. A family member can not make the field trip after all, can I offer my ticket to someone on BAND, No.  Please reach out to the ADMIN team first.  We may have someone on the waitlist that missed the cut off.  If they can make the field trip in short notice we will do the arranging.
    3. A rescheduled field trip due to weather and I can not make the reschedule, yes, If we can get a refund from the Venue or find another family willing to buy the tickets from you.
  1. No, please reach out via chat to one of our Admins (Kelli, Adria, Becky, or Jessica).  We will take care of checking the waitlist to see if a family can make the field trip in such short notice. Posting in the comments could cause confusion to families and the Admins organizing the field trips.
  1. On a field trip, you are the representation of PB&J.  Therefore, if we hear back from a venue about unsafe, unkind behavior, PB&J will reach out to you.  PB&J will have a three strike policy on behavior.  PB&J has etiquette and guidelines in place to follow on a field trip and we also adhere to the venue’s policies and guidelines.  If those cannot be followed, a family will be asked to leave.
  1. Certain field trips require a minimum number of participants to be booked. If we do not receive enough participants for these trips, they will be canceled or rescheduled. We will indicate which field trips have this requirement on the Band app.
