Convention FAQ's

Cairn University is located in Langhorne, PA, just 30 minutes from Philadelphia. Our mission is to educate students to serve Christ in the church, society, and the world as biblically minded, well-educated, and professionally competent men and women of character. Cairn also offers a Dual-Enrollment Program for motivated high-school students.

Keynote Speaker

This year we will be kicking off our convention weekend with Keynote speaker Israel Wayne. Israel, a self-described, once-highly-distractible, homeschooled boy himself, is now the father of 9 children. He and his wife Brooke founded Family Renewal Ministries, exhorting and encouraging others to think Biblically and stay the course.

Come join us in the Heritage Ballroom for a time of fellowship. Our opening activities will begin at 8:15 a.m. sharp, but doors will be open as early as 8:00 a.m. so you can get a good seat. You will be encouraged, prayed for, and energized for the weekend as you listen to Israel and allow God to refresh your spirit and renew your vision for discipling the next generation.

Other workshops that he will present throughout the weekend include:

The Power of Affirmation
Pitchin’ a Fit: Overcoming Angry and Stressed-Out Parenting
Transform Learning through the Art of Questions
Is Homeschooling Just for Women?
Inside the Brain of a Hyperactive Homeschooler

Super Volunteer Positions Available

What is a Super Volunteer?

For years, CHAP has had several homeschool individuals and families who want to serve more than just a few hours at the convention. They choose to serve all day Friday and/or all day Saturday. Some even serve from setup Thursday morning until tear down Saturday evening! We call these servant-hearted people our Super Volunteers. There are benefits given for serving all day including having your registration price covered for you and your family.

One of the areas we currently need Super Volunteers for is:

Jeremiah Stones Children's Program

While parents are enjoying the speakers and vendors at the convention, their kids can participate in 5 archaeological digs, each at a Biblically significant site. The purpose of the digs is to find hidden Christian treasures and Scriptures that trace the promise of a Messiah.

We need 2 Super Volunteers on Friday and 2 Super Volunteers on Saturday as Expedition Assistants to help as monitors or assistants where needed throughout the program. Send an email to Darra McDowell at volunteer@chaponline.com to ask questions and get more information.

Convention 2017 FAQ's

Q: I’m brand new. What should I expect Friday morning?

A: If you have pre-registered online you will receive your registration packet and convention bag upon entrance. After making sure the entrance wristbands match your registration, you will make sure each family member puts his or her wristband on and wears it for the duration of the weekend.
