Additional Questions

1. Code of Conduct and Field Trip Policy - you must agree to this in order to be accepted into CHA.

By electronically signing this form, you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct.

You, as the parent, are responsible for your child(ren) and their behavior. Children and parents are expected to be respectful to tour guides, venue employees, and other CHA families at all CHA field trips and events.

Please remember that we are all homeschoolers with a wide range of children’s ages and parenting philosophies. When attending a field trip or CHA-sponsored event, you are representing CHA and homeschoolers. We have worked very hard over the years to establish a positive reputation for our organization which affords us great field trip opportunities. Please consider what is appropriate behavior in a group setting and advise your children accordingly.

If you or your child have an interpersonal conflict with another CHA family, please work it out respectfully between the parents. The CHA board members will not be responsible for mediating interpersonal disputes.

Payment Policy

For each event, there is a payment/R.S.V.P. date. For field trips requiring payment, your payment finalizes your RSVP.

Only sign up for a field trip if you are committed to going. CHA receives discounts and makes arrangements based on R.S.V.P. numbers. If an emergency arises, please notify the coordinator as soon as possible.

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel before the payment deadline, you are not responsible for payment and any payments will be returned as a credit on your Homeschool Life account.

If you cancel after the payment date or cannot attend at the last minute, you will not receive a refund. You may find a replacement on your own and arrange for reimbursement with that individual, and the coordinator must be notified of the change in attendees.

If CHA cancels or reschedules the field trip and you are unable attend, CHA will refund your amount paid.

Promptness is required, as field trips will start promptly at the designated time. Please allow for travel time and any other circumstances that might delay you. If you are late, you need to understand that field trip will proceed on time without you and in some circumstances you may not be allowed to join the group. No refund will be given.
