CHEN Field trips are only available to CHEN members. We are aiming as a leadership team to have all bookings of field trips done online (except of course for those who are not internet connected). When making a booking online contact the person designated for that specific trip and then mail the cheque to that person.
In your email please include:
1. Name
2. Phone number.
2. How many adults attending.
4. How many children attending & their ages.
5. Total amount of cheque.
When your email is received, you will get a return email verifying whether the trip is still available and that you are on the list. Then you can send out your cheque payable to the designated person for that trip.
Please be advised that there are NO refunds after the designated date. Your payment is transferrable to someone else. This is your responsibility.
For directions to field trips, refer to www.mapquest.com
Some dates may be subject to change.

Sharing and Interacting Here with CHEN
I am looking forward to using this website as a tool for our group. This website gives me the ability to post links to various homeschooling sites, support groups and networks.
I am still in the learning stages but I really like the looks of this site and the ease of use. Eventually I will be posting all the field trips and activities, for sale items etc. I finally figured out how to link google calendar to this blog for our group's access.
Any postings from this site will also give the reader ability to comment in the comment box.
