Great Homeschool Convention Giveaway

The single best investment we made in our homeschool last year was a family trip to The Great Homeschool Convention in Greenville, SC.

The weekend was packed with learning, fun, and so much laughter. It inspired me at a time when I desparately needed inspiration.  It also inspired my husband and helped equip HIM in his role of supporting me as a homeschooling mom. 

(Thank you, Todd Wilson!)

We will be attending the Great Homeschool Convention again this year - March 20-22 in Greenville. I can't wait, because Dr. Benjamin Carson, Heidi St. John, Todd Wilson (and many others!) will be speaking! 

*This post contains affiliate links. Great Homeschool Conventions is a sponsor of this blog. After I attended the convention last year I was so pleased to accept their sponsorship. Even if we didn't have this formal relationship I would still be telling you to RUN to your closest convention! 

Greenville is also a favorite destination of ours. If you live in the southeast, you might want to consider a family vacation to Greenville, with a stop at The Great Homeschool Convention! 

Last year we met a sweet young lady from our church (a recent Furman graduate) who lives in Greenville. We went to dinner in downtown Greenville, and then she gave us the grand tour. Falls Park is beautiful - we're looking forward to returning (for her wedding!) in January, and then again for the convention in March.

 

Of course, if you don't live near Greenville you can also choose from the Cincinnati, OH and Ontario, CA conventions as well. (I've also heard they have a TEXAS convention coming soon!) 

I am pleased to be able to offer you a giveaway from Great Homeschool Conventions

If you're going to be at the Greenville location, PLEASE let me know! I would love to meet you!

This giveaway (valued at $60) includes the following and is good for the location you choose to attend:  

  • 1 Family Registration
  • 2 passes to the Family Comedy Night
  • 1 pass to the REAL FAITH for the REAL WORLD Teen Track

Please note, only a blog comment is REQUIRED for entrance, but there are 2 additional (optional) entries.

I have never attended a conference or convention but I would like to know that we know we are in this for the long haul and will be homeschooling high school. I would LOVE to hear Dr. Carson speak. Did you bring the kids? I can't remember. The only way I could see this happening (either in OH or NC) would be to go as a family.....

Yes, I've been to a couple of conventions and I always feel inspired afterwards. This looks like a great convention!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTammy D

Sorry, I misread the question. I haven't been to this convention, but I would love to attend it.

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTammy D

I went last year to Cinci...So VERY INSPIRING esp for a new homeschool family like ours. I think this year I would get so much more from it as now I would actually know what I'm looking at and need! Loved Kirk Martin and Cathy Duffy last year and so many more!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterjp

I haven't been to GHC, but have been to another convention and really enjoyed it.

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterCrystal @ Serving Joyfully

I'd love to attend. Have never been to one.

I haven't been to this particular homeschool convention, but have heard many good things about it! Would love to go! :)

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterPatti

We're hoping to attend!!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterBrent

Never, would be great if they add Texas!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKelly A

I've never attended GHC but have heard great things about it and would love to attend!!!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterDawn J

I have attended Cincy in the past. Would love to go back next year as we are preparing for middle school grades and changing our method of schooling.

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterNicole

I missed the one in Long Beach CA two years ago because of a conflict. None close by last year so I am waiting with anticipation for the one here in Cali in the spring. It is just up the freeway from me so that adds a bit more excitement!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJoanie Foley

I was able to attend the GHC in Long Beach two years ago. It was my first convention and changed our lives!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterRebecca N

I want to be there! We need this for our family. I've had my eye on it since the announcements started. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterPam

I have not attended their conference, but I was hoping to attend the one in Nashville next March. I'm still trying to convince my dear husband that it would be worth the money so winning a giveaway would really help my case! Thanks for offering this.

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAlicia

I have not attended GHC in the past, but I have been to a couple of smaller, state ones. I really want to attend the one in Greenville.

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSharon

I plan on going in March. We are moving from Louisiana to Raleigh, NC next month so I can't wait. I will have two high school homeschoolers next year so I could definitely use some inspiration!!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJodi B

We have never been to a convention but would love the help and encouragement.

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTammy

We would love to attend!!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterBecky

I haven't attended a GHC but with Ben Carson speaking his mind so much lately, I'd love to go listen to him speak!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterYahiliz

Attended the Cincinnati Convention last year and would love to have a chance to hear Ben Carson in 2014!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterHeather Bellman

I have not attended a GHC but am considering going to the Greenville one next year. Would love to win tickets! :)

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAmy M

I have never attended a homeschool convention, but would love to. it would give me a chance to check out high school options that will be needed in two years. YIKES!

October 21, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAnnette

We have been to a GHC and enjoyed it very much! We returned home with a much needed second wind to help us complete our school year.
