Miscellaneous Conference Information
General Information, Policies, & Procedures for the 2008 Christian Heritage Homeschool Conference:
CHILDREN
Many of our conference keynote and workshop sessions are designed to inspire and edify both parents and youth.
- Parents who register for the Full Conference Pass may purchase an Additional Family Member Pass for each child they wish to attend with them.
- Although a child of any age is allowed to attend on an Additional Family Member Pass, the messages are geared for a maturity level of approximately 10 and above.
- Each youth wishing to participate in the Christian Heritage Chorale must register for a Chorale Pass instead of an Additional Family Member Pass.
- No child care will be provided. Nursing infants attend free. Nursing Mothers’ Room and Toddlers’ Room provided.
- Click here for more information on our conference children’s policy.
- And . . . Click Here for complete Registration Information.
Note: All children attending the conference must remain with a registered parent at all times (except while youth are participating in the Chorale sessions and performance). Due to space constraints, strollers, etc. are not allowed in session rooms.
GRANDPARENTS
Christian Heritage welcomes grandparents and encourages their involvement in home education. For this reason, we offer grandparents the opportunity to attend the conference on an Additional Family Member Pass if they attend with a Full Conference Registrant.
PASTORS
If your pastor is unfamiliar with homeschooling or unsure about it, we encourage you to treat him and his wife to a Full Conference or Family Night Pass.
