This information is from WPA's previous conference. Our 31st Annual Home Education Conference will be held on May 2-3, 2014, at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.

Connections: Something for Everyone

Check out the fantastic family workshops designated by a triangle in the workshop descriptions and listed separately on the Family Activity Workshops page. Plan to attend with your children or have another responsible person accompany them.

Some Family Activity 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!

  • Gathering Space - Meet other homeschoolers. Bring 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.

Children Are Welcome With Parents

Many families enjoy Connections, special events, and the affordable housing. Plan to attend Family Activity 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 Family Activity workshops), the used book sale, and other such events. Parents are responsible for their children at all times.
