FACE Park Days
A Park Day is an informal time for homeschool families to gather outdoors.
Families may:
- Arrive and leave when it works for them
- Play on the playground
- Bring outdoor games or sports equipment
- Eat a snack or picnic lunch
- Meet other homeschool parents
- Let children build new friendships
- Ask general questions about the FACE community
Children of different ages are welcome. Families should choose activities that are safe and appropriate for their own children. These park days are open to anyone in the homeschool community, not just FACE enrolled families. This is a great way to meet FACE friends and build community.
We are happy to add park days, hiking days, pool days, fishing trips, or camp outs organized by any member of our community. Please email us at Office@Faceschool.org to get a date on the calendar.

Park Days and Field Trips Are Different
Park Days are not the same as organized FACE field trips.
| Park Days | Organized Field Trips |
|---|---|
| Informal community meetups | Planned learning or community activities |
| Open to local homeschool families | Limited to Premium Enrolled, Premium NOI, and Preschool FACE families |
| Generally no RSVP needed | Advance registration is often required |
| Families may come and go | Families need to arrive at the set time |
| No formal program or group lesson | May include tickets, tours, lessons, or group instructions |
| Parents supervise their own children | Parents still supervise, but FACE coordinates the activity |
| Usually held at public parks | May be held at museums, theaters, farms, or other locations |
Families enrolled in an eligible FACE option receive information about organized field trips and private community events through FACE communications.
