Registration
Does registration include membership?
The registration fee does not include a THSC membership. However, if you want to become a THSC member, members do receive two free adult passes to both Conventions among many other discounts and benefits throughout the year. Join THSC today by clicking here!
What does a convention registration include?
A general admission family package purchase is for you, your spouse, or one grandparent, and your non-adult children living in your home for the entire three days of Convention and special evening events.
An individual general admission package is only for one person. These packages do not include the add-on programs such as Teen Staff, Kid’s Convention, New to Homeschool seminar, etc. Those items are separate from the family package.
I am already a THSC member. How do I receive my free convention passes?
To locate your member discount code and get your free passes:
1. Log in to the member portal
2. Select: “Access your member benefits by clicking here.”
3. Select: “Events” at the top of the page
3. Your event code will be displayed on that page under “Called to Teach Convention”
Can I register additional relatives on my Convention registration?
Your registration is for you, your spouse, or one grandparent, and your children living in your home only. This is not a multi-family registration. Every adult needs a registration.
Can I purchase a Convention registration for a friend using my discount?
No, you may use your member discount for your Convention registration only, because only one Convention discount is given per membership each year.
Do you offer exhibit hall-only passes?
Yes! We offer a shopping-only package. This package gives one person access to the exhibit hall only. It does not include special evening events and add-on options such as Teen Staff, Kid’s Convention, New to Homeschool seminar, etc.
Do you offer single-day passes?
No, we offer full convention registration and exhibit hall-only passes.
Do I need to purchase an additional registration for my spouse?
If you purchased a general admission family package, you do not need to purchase an additional registration for your spouse. Your general admission family package registration is for you, your spouse or one grandparent, and your children (ages 18 and under) living in your home.
However, if you purchased an individual general admission package and you are not a THSC member, you will need to purchase an additional registration for your spouse or upgrade to a family package.

Children and Teens
Are there programs and options for children/teens?
Yes! Childcare options are available through the Giant Cow Program or our Teen Staff program.
Is lunch included for the children and teen programs?
Lunch is not included, but a nice lunch break is included in the schedule so that families still get time together during meals.
Are Strollers Allowed?
Most strollers and rolling book carts are allowed in the Exhibit Hall. No side-by-side strollers or wagons are permitted. Due to space constraints and fire marshal regulations, strollers will not be allowed into workshops, but they may be parked in designated Stroller Parking Areas. Please do not leave valuables in strollers while parked.
Can my children attend the workshops and visit the exhibit hall?
We love having children attend the convention! Children may attend workshops or shop with you in the exhibit hall.
Unfortunately, we do receive complaints that parents with noisy babies/children did not leave sessions promptly when the children became a distraction.
Parents, please be courteous to others in the workshop and step out if your child is being noisy. Please do not wait to be asked to leave, but notice if your child’s noise level is disturbing others who are trying to pay attention to the session.
We have audio versions of the sessions, so don’t worry about missing anything!
Parking, Lodging, Things to Do, and Onsite Information
Can I pack food for my family to eat at the venue?
Guests may bring their own food if they are staying in the hotel. Outside food may not be brought into the convention center.
Will there be food for sale in the venue?
We strongly encourage convention attendees to purchase our boxed lunches. The boxed lunches offered at each THSC Called to Teach Convention are available for purchase on the registration page specific to each event. These are a great way to simplify and enjoy convenience during the convention. Meals are individually boxed for your convenience and safety.
