CHEC Mini Conferences
Homeschool Encouragement and Community – Coming to Your Corner of Colorado!
You don’t have to miss out just because you live far from the Front Range!
Every year, thousands of homeschool families gather at CHEC events for encouragement, practical help, and the reminder that they’re not alone.
But if you live far from the Front Range, those events require a long drive… or simply going without.
That changes this year. We’re bringing CHEC to you!
The encouragement, community, and practical help that you need for your homeschooling shouldn’t be limited by geography. So CHEC staff members are hitting the road bringing one-day Mini-Conferences to the Western Slope, the Mountain Region, and Southeast Colorado.
These special one-day events are designed specifically for you – close to home.

Why Attend?
When you live an hour away from your closest homeschool friend, and a CHEC event is hours farther, teaching your children at home can feel like an isolating experience.
These Mini-Conferences exist to change that.
Whether you’re new to homeschooling or have been doing it for years, you’ll leave this day encouraged, better equipped, and connected to other families in your area who share your commitment to home education.
You’re not meant to homeschool alone – and after attending a Mini-Conference, you won’t feel like you are.
