Ask questions that are specific to your needs regarding the field trip. Questions like: Do they offer field trips? What day and time? How much per person? What type of restrictions are there for the field trip visitors? What is the minimum amount needed in a group? What will the homeschooled children learn on this field trip? There may be other questions that you may want to ask. If you do forget a question or think of new ones later don’t be afraid to call back. It is better to get all the information and get it right the first time then to get a messed up field trip.
