This site may require other information or dues before approving web site membership.

Register here to apply to join KCHA! Here are a few important things for you to know as you register:

The "Primary" person is usually the mother, and the "Secondary" person is usually the father. Please put whichever person you would like to be the primary and secondary points of contact for your family.
Your child's Grade is what they would be if they were attending public school. This is not what grade level curriculum you are using for them.
When you reach the part of registration that requests info about your children, there is a check box that states "Show Children Info to Other Families." That is referring to other KCHA families with memberships. This gives you the option of whether you want your children to be included in the Member Directory. You can also update this preference after your registration is approved.
Make sure you read the Code of Conduct and Payment Policies carefully. Exceptions will not be made.

Check here if you have read and agree to the TERMS OF SERVICE.

Additional Questions

KCHA 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 KCHA families at all KCHA field trips and events.

Please remember that we are all homeschoolers, so we have a wide range of children’s ages and parenting philosophies. When attending a field trip, you are representing KCHA and homeschoolers. We work very hard to establish and maintain a positive reputation for our organization which affords us great field trip opportunities. Please consider what is appropriate behavior in a group setting.

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

All KCHA members will be expected to abide by the following guidelines while attending any KCHA event:

All members are to be courteous and respectful of everyone, regardless of differences.
Use calm, clear, and honest communication to resolve problems.
Take care of your own property and respect others’ property.
Dress appropriately for all expected activities.
Parents will be responsible for and in control of their children at all times.
Parents will discuss appropriate behavior with their children prior to an event. Teach children appropriate boundaries and behavior respective to each unique setting e.g. Theatre Play, vs Speaker Presentation, vs Party, etc.
Families are to leave all events better than they found them. Offer to help clean-up and respect the home, premises and/or facility.
Any music, magazines, books, art, or other materials should be "PG or G". Please be sensitive that what one family has chosen as acceptable may not be acceptable to others and vice versa. An exception may be made for Tween or Teen events if given approval by the Board in advance.
A minimum of two adults per room are required to be present as responsible parties. Whenever this is not possible the doors to any enclosed room must remain open.
Refrain from engaging in any form of inappropriate behavior towards children or exposing them to any such behavior.
Refrain from using alcohol, tobacco products, pornography, illegal drugs and weapons while participating in KCHA activities.
The following behaviors are strictly prohibited and may result in loss of membership privileges: Physical violence, bullying, predatory grooming, sexual misconduct, oppressive and/or discriminatory behavior.

Payments & Cancellations Policy

Payment Policy
For each event, there is a payment/R.S.V.P. date. For field trips requiring payment, your payment finalizes your RSVP. Payments can be made through the website directly, or as otherwise arranged by the Treasurer (not the Field Trip Organizer).

Only sign up for a field trip if you are committed to going. KCHA 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 your reservation for an event after you have paid for it, your payment will not be refunded. 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 KCHA cancels or reschedules the field trip and you are unable to attend, KCHA will put a credit on your account that you may use towards a future event.

Attendance Policy

ALL 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.
