Connections: Something for Everyone

Check out the fantastic family workshops designated by (Connections) in the workshop description section.

  • Friday Night - Family Pajama Party Put on your warm pajamas and fuzzy slippers. Join other families. Bring your favorite cuddly toy. Relax with some great bedtime stories.
  • Common Space - Network, meet other homeschoolers, make new friends, and even enjoy your homemade lunch in the Connections lounge area. Bring your favorite games and relax with your kids and other families.
  • Play Space - Sensory tables and play dough are a big hit with younger children.
  • Display Area - Discover “The Many Paths of Homeschooling Alumni.” Explore the history of homeschooling in Wisconsin.
  • Volunteer - The success of Connections depends on the energy of many. Get involved by contacting WPA.
  • Workshops - Some Connections workshops are very popular and will close. Register early. Check the WPA Voice Mail (608-283-3131) for closings before registering for a workshop with limits. (However, checking does not guarantee you a place.) Make second choices from the list of exciting workshops. Be flexible!

Children Are Welcome

Many families enjoy Connections, special events, and the affordable housing. Plan to attend Connections workshops with your children or have another responsible person accompany them. Or take them to adult workshops with you. Many parents bring snacks and quiet, losable toys. Please sit where you can easily leave if your children become noisy and return when they are settled. Some families bring a helper to play quietly with children while parents attend workshops. Because of space constraints, please do not bring strollers into workshops (including Connections), the used book sale, and other such events.
