It’s December 14, and Alabama became a state on this date in 1819. The city of Huntsville, Alabama is home to Space Camp, and the anniversary of Alabama becoming a state is a good occasion for us to remind you about extracurricular activities such as Space Camp which you may wish to add to your homeschool program. Homeschooling allows students and families to set their own schedule and take field trips to places which can bring their homeschool courses to life. Space Camp is just one example, but there are thousands more around the country, and some of them are probably not too far from where you live. As we approach winter, spend some time thinking about what places you’d like to visit in 2024 and then make a plan to visit one or more of them. You’ll be glad you did!
