A homeschool camp?! That would be surreal. I'd love to go.
Well, like I said, acceptance of that pass varies, and your local fish and wildlife office will be able to sell you one but not tell you too much about it, lol.
Brandon has joined Nathan in odd science experiments. The current one is hurting my ears. And Nate was doing things with lunch while he was cooking...I should be worried.

Do you know if they are good at state parks, or only federal ones? I've been looking for the answer and I'm not sure.
Yes, homeschool camp was really neat. It was in Indiana, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp site. The people who organized it was able to make a deal with the camp, and we all put in three hours of work each morning in exchange for lower rates. I remember scrubbing bathrooms, and vacuuming dorms, and cleaning lampshades in the chapel, and scraping gum off the bottom of tables in the cafeteria. Then we'd have workshops each day. We'd come in Monday, do workshops on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and leave on Friday. Some of the workshops I remember taking were Guitar, Tennis, Buttercream mints, Tye Dye, and Chicken Butchering.
We also had daily Bible Studies and chapel twice a day. Vic Vance and his buddy Tom Camp (Jeremy Camp's father) would lead the worship, and it was so awesome. After chapel, we could spend as much time as we wanted in the gym.
On Thursday they always had a mini-Olympics. They had all sorts of events and you could compete in as many as you wanted to. I won the power walk event one year, and my team won a relay race. There was also a volleyball tournament and a paper airplane making contest.
They would go out and buy these prizes for the winners from Big Lots and make up fancy names for them, and at dinner they would call you up and tell you what you won and give you your prize. One year I won an "Portable Word Processor". It was a pencil. Another year I won a "Four-Course Fish Dinner". It was one of those plastic fishing rods with four little plastic magnetic fish.
I have so many good memories from homeschool camp. <sigh>

That's the problem. Each facility kind of decides for themselves  So what I would do is call around the places you would like to visit this year and say, 'what will an America The Beautiful pass do for me at your place?'
You should write up your homeschool camp stories.

They finally switched planes and Mom got home safe and sound.
We went to BR for 31 cent scoops, but they were so full that the employees were taking orders outside the building and there was no parking left! We may try again in a bit.

At first I thought of a church camp, but it would be way overkill for the size of our church. 
Or maybe a homeschool camp. We used to go to one when I was a teenager, and I have a lot of fond memories of that. They don't have that anymore. If I had the energy, I'd plan one.
