Payments are due before the registration deadline posted on the FRC website. Please make special note that we must meet program minimums 2 weeks prior to each event.

Frequently Asked Questions:
May I pay for multiple programs with one payment? Yes, Please always include a list of programs and the amount we are applying from your payment.

Can I register for an FRC program if I am not a member? Yes, most of our programs are open to all homeschooling families. Members save on registration fees and have access to field trip information before the general homeschooling community.
Can I share program information with my homeschooling friends and support group? Yes, please do. You may circulate our email program reminders, link to our website or print field trip information in your support group newsletter. Well attended programs allow us to offer your family more program options throughout the year.
Can I register for more than one program at a time? Yes, Please list each program by date and facility name. Be sure to use the REGISTRATION FORMAT listed above.
Can I include a friend's family in with my registration? You may register a friend's family but you must include all registration information separate from yours. Non-members of the FRC pay non-member rates.
Can I register extended family members under my FRC membership? Yes, when you register for a field trip you may also register your own extended family members at the FRC member rate. This includes Grandparents, In-laws, Aunts, Uncles etc.
How do I determine if a program is age appropriate? Unless a program is restricted to a specified age group, we rely on parents to determine the most appropriate programs for their children based on interest and maturity level of each child. We ask that you keep in mind that a program designed for students at a public school's 4th grade level may not be appropriate for children 7 years old. On the other hand, a program designed for children ages 8-12 may be quite appropriate for junior and high school students depending on their own personal knowledge level of the topic being presented. Teen-venture Programs are organized specifically for children age 13 and up. Although subject matter might be of great interest to younger, mature children, these opportunities are specifically planned for homeschooling teens who wish to be with their own peer level. Please take these things into consideration before registering for an FRC Ed-venture. When in doubt, feel free to give us a call.
