Help us keep the old traditions alive for our children and grandchildren.
We are in great need of a few more field trip volunteers! We offer flexible hours and free training! The Pioneer Settlement serves elementary and middle school children from over 16 Florida counties and preferred dates book quickly, often a year in advance.
Several hands-on educational programs are offered daily including the Pioneer Ways, Seminole Indians, Florida History and two holiday/seasonal programs. Each program provides a hands-on component and both the children and chaperones love to visit.
Not sure if this is for you? We invite you to schedule a time to visit and shadow a field trip and experience first hand how rewarding this opportunity can be.
Field trips are Monday - Friday 9am - 1pm.
Once a week or once a month can be a big help!
