Question 1

Is this group a Non-Profit Organization?

Accepted Answer

We operate as a not-for-profit, parent-led homeschool community, meaning no one earns a salary and 100% support goes toward activities and events. Contributions are not tax-deducible at this time.

However, we are working on getting our 501(c)(7)!

Question 2

How can I help or support this cause?

Your support means the world to our homeschool group! It helps us continue coordinating fun and educational field trips and events for our families. Every contribution - no matter how big or small - plays a vital role in making these experiences possible. Contributions are completely optional and are not tax-deductible.

Question 4

Where are most events held or located?

Accepted Answer

All over Central Florida! The main location for several of our events will be held in Central Florida region. Occasionally, we will plan trips outside of CFL; however, we try to keep them local for those who are unable to make long distance trips.

Main Headcounters = LakeLand and Winter Haven Florida.

You'll notice several field trips outside of Florida or the United States too. Our goal is to eventually visit every single state in the USA!

Question 6

Do I have to homeschool to participate or join?

Accepted Answer

No; however, an annual membership is still required.

We are often asked if students have to be homeschooled in order to attend. While we DO welcome those outside of traditional homeschool, this group was designed specifically with homeschool families in mind.

That being said, a lot of our field trips and events will be held during the week day (less crowded).

The more the merrier!

Question 8

Are There Any Fees or Refunds for Field Trips and Events?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the specific field trip, event, or experience.

Many CFLHSG activities require tickets, deposits, RSVP planning fees, or advance reservations to secure venues, supplies, educational materials, transportation, group discounts, custom items, or third-party arrangements.

Unless otherwise stated on a specific event page:

Tickets are generally non-refundable and non-transferable
Deposits and RSVP planning fees are non-refundable and non-transferable

We kindly ask that families only register or submit payment if they are reasonably certain they are able to attend.

CFLHSG utilizes Zeffy for event registrations and ticketed activities. For your protection, our group only uses official CFLHSG registration links and approved payment methods.

We will never ask families to send funds through unofficial payment requests for event registrations.

If CFLHSG must cancel an event, we will do our best to reschedule or issue refunds when applicable; however, processing fees, third-party fees, unrecoverable vendor costs, custom supplies, or administrative expenses may be deducted when necessary.

Full participation terms, refund policies, payment disclosures, chargeback information, liability waivers, and participation expectations can be reviewed here:

https://www.centralfloridahomeschool.org/participationliabilitywaiver

Important Note Regarding Chargebacks:

Chargebacks or payment disputes filed without prior communication may impact future participation eligibility. Because CFLHSG often prepays vendors, supplies, reservations, tickets, and event costs in advance, unauthorized disputes can create financial hardship for the organization. We kindly ask families to contact us first so we can try to resolve concerns together.

Question 9

Can I be removed from this group?

Accepted Answer

Yes; if you're no longer interested in being a part of our group, you may unsubscribe from our emails and texts at anytime or remove yourself from our social media groups. If you need help, just let us know - Click Here.

If a group member files a chargeback for an event or service without contacting us first, their access to future events may be suspended. See previous question for complete details regarding this.

Additionally, if any parent or child engages in harassment, bullying, or disruptive behavior toward another group member, we may remove that individual and/or family from the group and all future events in order to maintain a safe and positive environment for families.

Question 10

BetterSchool Platform. Why are ticket prices higher there?

Accepted Answer

We are so glad you found us! To help spread the word about our events and field trips, we partner with third-party platforms like BetterSchool. They help us reach more people and meet minimum requirements for bigger discounts.

Please note that ticket prices may be a little higher when purchased through these platforms due to their 10% platform fee and some additional service charges that are out of our control.

Now that you know about us, we highly recommend purchasing tickets directly through us to save yourself a few dollars!

Question 11

Participation Agreement, Policies & Waiver

Accepted Answer

Participation Agreement, Waiver & Media Policy

Participation in Central Florida Homeschool Group (CFLHSG) activities requires acknowledgment and agreement to our Participation Agreement, Policies & Liability Waiver.

This agreement applies to participation in CFLHSG activities including, but not limited to:

Field trips
Educational programs
Ticketed events
Free RSVPs
Travel experiences
Overnight stays and camps
Cruises and group activities

Our agreement outlines important information regarding:

Participation expectations
Liability waivers and assumption of risk
Parent/guardian responsibilities
Refund and payment policies

Safety and participation standards

Because CFLHSG activities often take place in public or group settings, participants understand that photos and videos may occasionally include participants or minors in the background of images, recordings, or shared event memories. While we strive to be respectful, participation in group environments means visibility cannot always be fully controlled.

Participation in CFLHSG activities requires acknowledgment of these policies. Families who do not wish to agree to participation requirements, waivers, or community expectations may choose not to participate in group activities.

Question 12

Who runs this homeschool group?

Accepted Answer

Excellent question! CFLHSG is a community of parents and guardians who have come together to find a sustainable solution for the challenges we are facing in these uncertain times. We recognize the significance of offering a secure and dependable learning environment for our homeschool families, and that is why we have established this exceptional community. Our primary objective is to provide the highest quality educational and social experiences while ensuring the safety and happiness of everyone involved. Each field trip or event is hosted by a group member and leader so it often varies.

Central Florida Homeschool Group is ran by like-minded parents and guardians. We are not a business, nor a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. We are a privately organized, parent-led, not-for-profit, homeschool community created to provide safe, affordable, and meaningful experiences for families.
