Vendors & Activities

Chico and its neighboring towns have so much to offer homeschoolers.  Here you will find a list of activities that frequently recommended by homeschoolers along with their contact information and which charter schools they work with.  Activities or service providers that are not registered with charter schools are still available to you but will need to be paid for out-of-pocket.  

​

Note: We do our best to keep this list updated and correct.  If you find information that needs correcting, we would love to hear from you so we can better serve our community.
