Tips on Choosing a Homeschool Convention
Some questions to consider include:
- Are there any speakers that you really want to see? (Research some of the ones you don’t know and you might locate a gem.)
- Is there child care or an activity available? If not, are children allowed in the presentations?
- Will there be a vendor hall or used curriculum sale? (You can usually get great deals here!)
- Does the total price (tickets, transportation, and hotel) fit in your budget?
- Is it religious or secular? Does that fit with your beliefs?
