Each year, Village Home brings travel opportunities to our families. Trips are planned based on direct feedback from the community. A variety of trips will be planned, but they all include opportunity for educational experiences or cultural experiences or adventure. Trips are designed to be family-friendly, but in some cases it is possible for teens to travel with a Village Home chaperone. Watch this page for news of past and upcoming trips.

Forty-two Village Home travelers explored the roots of American History in a 10-day trip June 2008. We visited colonial Williamsburg, Pamplin Park, Jamestown, Yorktown, and Old Town Alexandria. In DC, we toured the monuments on bicycles, explored the Smithsonian Institution, and toured the US Capitol, among other things. Overall, it was a memorable trip full of laughs, learning, and fun!

About twenty Village Home families will explore the high desert together in August. Our adventure includes a day at the High Desert Museum, naturalist walks, and sketching classes. We even have a few brave souls who are white water rafting! Fun for the whole familiy!

Twenty-two Village Home families camped together at South Beach State Park. Together we played on the beach, explored tidepools, paddled in kayaks, swam across a fresh water lake, played field games, and sang around the campfire. It was the highlight of the summer for many!

Village Home families ventured to Honeyman State Park on the first overnight family travel event in Village Home's history. Together, we climbed the sand dunes, went swimming and kayaking, and ate a lot of s'mores! The start of an annual tradition!

Forty-four Village Home families trekked to the coast for a week of fun at Tugman exploring the Dunes National Park, playing in the lake and at the beach, and learning how to sand board together. Next stop: Camping August 2011 at Nehalem Bay!
