Defend Homeschool Freedom: Family Day at the Zoo

June 18, 2026
11:00 AM - 4:00 PM EST
Essex County Turtleback Zoo
560 Northfield Ave, West Orange, NJ 07052, USA

Americans for Prosperity and Jersey 1st invite homeschool families to a special gathering at the beautiful Essex County Turtleback Zoo on Thursday, June 18th, starting at 11:00 AM.

This is more than a day at the zoo — it’s a chance to connect with other homeschooling families, learn practical ways to protect and strengthen homeschool freedoms in New Jersey, and build a stronger, supportive community across the state. Together, we’ll discuss current challenges facing homeschoolers, share success stories, and explore how we can stand united to keep education decisions in the hands of parents.

What to Expect:


  • Engaging discussions and resources on defending homeschooling rights

  • Opportunities to meet and network with like-minded families

  • A complimentary book for each family to support your homeschool journey

  • A free zoo pass for the day so you can enjoy the zoo’s exhibits, trails, and animal encounters after the program





Bring the whole family for a meaningful morning followed by a fun afternoon exploring the zoo. This event is designed for parents and children alike — learn, connect, and make memories.
