Capitol Day
2023
Join us at the Statehouse on Tuesday, October 17th!
Start your homeschool year off right and head to the Statehouse on October 17th for a fun
and educational event hosted by Christian Home Educators of Ohio!
Capitol Day is a great field trip for students and teacher alike! It provides an important opportunity for home educators to better understand the legislative process in Ohio and how we can positively affect this system. This event is also a wonderful way to fulfill some of the history requirements for your school year!
Come and enjoy engaging speakers, Statehouse tours, legislative updates with Melanie Elsey, an interactive Scavenger Hunt for all our guests, giveaways and more! All students will also receive a beautiful certificate to commemorate the day and their participation.
We hope to see you in October!
