We have been busy planning another great PAACH Convention for next year in April! Check out details on our website. Our theme this year is, "Made to Worship!" focusing on family worship of our Creator and Savior!

Keynote Speakers

We have a great line-up of keynote speakers including:

1. Todd Wilson, whose humor and gut-honest realness have made him a favorite speaker at homeschool conventions across the country
2. Kevin Swanson, whose passion is to strengthen and encourage families all over the world
3. Kirk Smith, Executive Director of ICHE

Friday morning Kevin Swanson will discuss Family Worship, Family Economy, and Family Life for homeschooling families. Then, Saturday morning, Todd Wilson will describe the FOUR Homeschool Temperaments. Finally, Kirk Smith will challenge us all as we depart with A Leap of Faith session on Saturday afternoon.
