Friday Groups

Field Trips

Field Trip Groups are a great way to connect regularly with other Christian homeschooling families, build community, and create memories through shared adventures!

Four Square offers family field trip opportunities on Fridays to places such as local museums, hiking trails, observatories, nature centers, and theaters – as well as popular field trip locations across Michigan. There are opportunities for all ages!

The cost to join a family field trip group is $75/family. The field trip group coordinator will plan a wide variety of field trips from September-April. Each field trip will be free or will include a discounted group rate paid directly to the venue. Parents are responsible for field trip costs. transportation, and supervision of their own children during the field trip. Limited spaces available. Contact us for more information. We’d love for you to join us!

Join this group to participate in a monthly family service project. Service projects will be scheduled on both weekdays and weekends, depending on the venue. Some examples of service projects include: visiting nursing homes, Christmas caroling, volunteering at Love Inc., serving food at Mel Trotter Ministries, and more. This group is free to join. All ages are welcome! 

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25
