Weekend giveaway: Great Homeschool Conventions (2 winners!)

October 11, 2013 //  by Jamie C. Martin

Great Homeschool Conventions
This giveaway has ended–thanks for your interest!

Welcome to this weekend’s giveaway–hosted by Great Homeschool Conventions!

Great Homeschool Conventions will hold its 2014 regional conventions in South Carolina (March), Ohio (April), and California (June). Each convention features a huge (and I mean huge!) Homeschool Curriculum exhibit hall.

This year’s featured speakers include Dr. Benjamin Carson, Heidi St. John, Dr. Thomas Woods, Dr. Kathy Koch, Gianna Jessen, Dr. Jay Wile, Cathy Duffy, Jim Weiss, Steve Demme, and many more.

When I attended and spoke at last year’s convention in Ohio, I was truly impressed with the professionalism and organization that had gone into the event. The number of sessions to choose from meant something for everyone no matter your needs.

Attendees get to choose from hundreds of encouraging, equipping, information-packed workshops…selecting those that are most applicable to YOUR homeschooling efforts. There is also an optional children’s program and a special track for teens–real faith for the real world.

You can sign up here to receive GHC’s email newsletter with updates and announcements and to be notified of early bird discounts.

speakers

Two Simple Homeschool readers will receive a family registration to the conference location of your choice!

Choose from:

* Greenville, South Carolina (March 20-22, 2014)
* Cincinnati, Ohio (April 24-26, 2014)
* Ontario, California (June 12-14, 2014)
* Texas (in planning for 2015)

    My kids are nearly one year and three years. We are just starting to gather information for our homeschool journey. I want to be intentional and have a well thought out plan for the first few years of homeschool and I would love to hear what the speakers have to say about early childhood education in the home.

    I have a nine year old and eleven year old. I have friends that have gone to the convention in the past and they learned a lot. I would love to learn more about transitioning my oldest to seventh grade curriciculum. I also want to see what other options are available for my other son.

    My children are 24, 22 and 11 years old. We’ve been at this for so long that we need a fresh perspective. It’s been quite a while since we’ve been to a homeschool convention. I would love to attend the one in SC which is where we attended our second convention years and years ago. Thanks for the chance.

    My children are 3 and 4.5, so this next fall we will likely be transitioning from preschool to kindergarten. We would love to attend to gather information to help our home-learning journey be even better! My oldest has autism and spd and I would love to learn more ways to help him learn and have fun doing it!

    My daughter is 8 years old. (Yes, we homeschool an only child. We are an anomaly in the homeschooling world! 😉 Lol ) I have attended the SC GHC before, but never with my family. I’d love for them to be able to go with me!

    My children are 8,7,4,and 1. I have never been to a homeschooling convention, even though we have been homeschooling for a couple of years now. My friends tell me it’s awesome, though!

    My children are 15, 14, 10, 7, 6, 5, 2, and 16 months. I attended the conference last year in South Carolina. It was amazing! It was my first year to attend, so I went alone. I would love to share the experience with my family this year. The speakers are so encouraging and the exhibit hall was awesome. Many great home school resources are available for you to page through and see if it will work for your family and style of home schooling. Finally, you meet so many families who are at various stages in the home school journey and have the opportunity to share and grow from them. I would love to attend again this year!

    My children are 8 (9 by conference time), 5 (6 by conference time), and my son will be 4 next Wednesday. 🙂 I would love to go to the conference because I didn’t get the opportunity to go to ANY conference last year, and it has been TWO years since I have been to this specific conference and I MISS IT!!!

  11. Rebecca

    October 11, 2013 at 8:29 am

    Would love a chance to go to a convention. We’ve been homeschooling for 6 years and have never had an opportunity to go. It would be wonderful to see others in the homeschool community.

    My kids are 7,5,3 and 8 months. I would love to go to this conference to gain some direction and inspiation. Two of my kids are special needs and twice exceptional. Finding a good method and curriculum has been quite the challenge.

  14. Stephanie

    Currently my children are 10, 8, 6, 3 and they have been homeschooled since preschool. Last year we weren’t able to attend any convention due to finances and haven’t ever been to a Great Homeschool Convention. What a great opportunity for the whole family! Thanks for offering the giveaway!

  17. Cara Thompson

    October 11, 2013 at 8:36 am

    My children are 6yrs, 4yrs, and 4mo. I plan on going to the GHC again this year because the equipping I received last year from the Parenting track and reading sessions changed my life and the way we learn at home. This conference is a top priority to me but I would greatly appreciate the giveaway because we are on a very tight budget. Thanks for the opportunity!!

  18. Janet

    October 11, 2013 at 8:37 am

    My boys are 13 and 11. We are in our second tear of homeschooling, and have not yet been to a homeschool convention. I think attending the Greenville conference would be a great opportunity to boost our confidence as we figure out middle and high school!

    My children are 10, 9 & 6. This is our first year homeschooling. I would love to go to the convention because I have do much to learn. I think being in fellowship with that many other homeschoolers would be such a blessing.

  21. Misty

    October 11, 2013 at 8:41 am

    My daughter is 13 years old and we have been home schooling since third grade. I have never been to a convention or any type of seminar. As we are getting ready to start high school next year, I find myself doubting my ability to get her through high school. I have been reading lately about a lot of different approaches to home schooling and would love to get some new perspectives. What we have been doing just seems to not be working anymore.

  22. Amy

    October 11, 2013 at 8:42 am

    My children are 4 &5. We have just started homeschooling… what a breeze with the oldest, a curiosity driven learner. But our youngest has several learning and behavior challenges to me and I could use some encouragement and help planning what’s best for her. That is why I would like to attend a homeschooling conference.

  31. Lisa H

    October 11, 2013 at 9:09 am

    My kids are 10, 8, and 6. I would love to have a chance to go because of the great speakers. I also have a slight book obsession and just love the endless options at book fairs. 🙂

    Would probably want to wait for the one in Texas though.

    I’d love to enter for my cousin in Cincinnati! She homeschools her 10, 8, 7, and 3 year olds. She is one amazing mama who also teaches Spanish at her local co-op. I’m sure she would jump at the chance to attend this conference and get some homeschool encouragement!

    I have 3 boys: 11 yrs, 8 yrs, 3 yrs. We are new to homeschooling and conventions help us to see LOTS of others who are homeschooling. I love the vendor fairs because they allow me to see the curriculum that I read about online. The seminars provide encouragement and education for me, the teacher. Thanks so much for the opportunity!

  37. Jennifer Vasquez

    October 11, 2013 at 9:40 am

    My children are 8, 6, and 3, and we are just starting to homeschool. Great so far, but I’d definitely love some help planning for next year, now that I have some idea of what homeschooling is like! Thank you!

  38. Michelle H

    October 11, 2013 at 9:42 am

    My daughter will turn 3 in November. I am in the beginning stages of preparing myself to homeschool my daughter. God has been guiding me in taking the right paths and I feel that by attending the conference I will gain much wisdom and obtain knowledge about what is out there as far as resources, curriculum, etc….I feel it will connect me to other people and it will open my eyes to what homeschooling is all about.

  39. Erika S

    I have a 5-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy. I went to the convention last year and was HUGELY blessed by it (I sat in on two of your sessions, Jamie- which I loved!). I’m going in 2014, but it would be great to get the tickets for free and have more money to spend in the Exhibit Hall. 😉

    As a homeschooling military family, my husband and I rarely get time away. We were able to attend the convention in SC last year for the first time. The best part was, we left our 6 year old son and 8 year old daughter at home with my mom! I it was a life changing experience for our family and our marriage! I was so excited to finally attend a conference and my husband was really able to engage with homeschooling on a new level. Before, due to his very demanding schedule, it was my job to homeschool. After the convention last year, I can now say WE homeschool! As long as my mom is committed to flying down to watch the kids, we’ll go as many times as we can. The knowledge is inspiring and the time together is enriching!

We are in our 4th year of “official” homeschooling & I would love to go for encouragement, inspiration, and new ideas. We are at place where we feel like we have the basics down (most days) and are ready to make our home school even better!

    My children are 5, 5, 16, and 16. With two sets of twins, I still have 4 different learning-styles, and one of the 5-year olds is a special-needs child. The older children are homeschooled, the adoption will be final on the younger twins next month so then I may homeschool them also. What a blessing it would be to soak up all that teaching from the convention, especially for my handicapped child!

I have spent over 4 years here without returning to the USA. I’ll be returning to the USA in December for 1 year. I started my homeschooling experience completely on my own without any help and without any conventions to glean information from. It is a dream of mine to attend a homeschool convention while I am in the USA to learn as much as I can before I return to the Philippines.

I look forward to attending again in CA in 2014 because I’m getting ready to teach middle school. I’m a little anxious about that and hope that some of the speakers and workshops will encourage me and give me some great ideas to incorporate. I also look forward to the vendor hall and getting some middle school curriculum pieces.

It’s great to go and be around other like-minded people and to talk to strangers and learn from them. I think all HS moms should go to conferences to keep the momentum going to keep the faith and soldier on in their HS journey!
