We build the bridges. Families cross them.
Finding meaningful experiences for your child takes research, outreach, coordination, and community.
We handle all of it.
Field Trip Fridays partners directly with venues, negotiates group access, and organizes experiences that individual families simply could not replicate on their own.
All a family has to do is show up ready to learn.
A small team with a big mission
Field Trip Fridays was founded in 2021 by Kelsey Holloway, a homeschool parent who saw a gap and decided to fill it. In five years, that decision has grown into one of Texas’s most active homeschool communities, serving 13,500 families across the state.
Behind every field trip is a dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and a network of partners who believe every child deserves access to the world around them. We plan with intention, we run with purpose, and we never lose sight of who we are here for.
For Homeschoolers, by Homeschoolers
We know this community because we are this community. Every program, every partnership, and every decision we make is informed by the experience of homeschooling our own children alongside yours.
