Our Hosts
Daniel & Megan
Daniel & Megan Craig first started homeschooling about 25 years ago … well, their parents did! As homeschool grads, they are enthusiastic about home education, discipleship, and the church, and they take that into their daily life. Together, they desire to raise their family (two little ones so far!) to know and love Christ wholeheartedly in the context of daily family relationships, and they are grateful for every opportunity to share that passion with others!
Todd & Jessie
Todd and Jessie have been married for over 20 years. They have eight children, ages 9 months – 17. Homeschooling is a part of life as they raise their children to advance the Kingdom of God.
Stephen & Tara
Stephen & Tara Craig are only a couple of years down the road of officially homeschooling their own children. And since they were both homeschooled themselves, they are learning every day to more fully appreciate the sacrifice and investment that their parents made. They love living life with their children, learning alongside them, and pointing them to Christ, whether they are sitting in their house, walking by the way, rising up, or laying down.
Questions?
Super simple – we do the work for you and send you an email each morning of the event. You can click the link in the email to view the schedule for the day, then click the video you’d like to see. Videos are available to view for free for 24 hours from their scheduled launch time, so even if you miss the launch you still have time to catch up. (Each session is about 45 minutes long, and you can watch from your computer, smart TV, or mobile device.)
No problem! We’ve created the All-Access Pass option; when you upgrade, nothing expires – which means you can watch and rewatch that super-helpful session and soak in all the tips. Click here to learn more.
Yep, for sure! The vendor hall, discounts, and videos listed for free on this page are all just that – no cost to you and no strings attached. (You can opt to register for an All-Access Pass to get even more exclusive video content, but that’s up to you.)
The keynotes are broadcast on Facebook, but they’re also on our website, and all other video sessions are right here too. We encourage you to connect with us via Facebook to participate in some great discussion & fun giveaways, but it’s not required.
We’re so glad you asked! Homeschool Summits is a project brought to you by CHEC and Generations, both non-profit organizations based in Colorado that exist to help parents raise their children to love and serve God. CHEC is a Colorado-based organization that defends homeschool freedom and helps families to homeschool with confidence. (Learn more here.) Generations is a national organization that offers a daily radio program, family events, curriculum, and more. (Learn more here.) Together, they are working to bring Homeschool Summits to your home.
Sure! If you’d like to market this event through your own online platform and receive 50% earnings, learn more here.
Or, if you’d like to learn more about being an exhibitor or speaker, click here.
Short answer = nope! We ARE pulling together a fantastic lineup of speakers and even shopping options, but it won’t replace attending your local homeschool conference. We highly recommend checking with your state organization (find a list here) for more information about their conferences. As awesome as this summit will be, we still believe that the in-person networking of a local conference is invaluable!
If you decide to upgrade your free event registration to an All-Access pass, you will be eligible to receive continuing education credit.
