Activiteiten voor tieners en alumni

NCHE plant sociale activiteiten om de vriendschappen van onze tieners en alumni aan te moedigen. Al deze activiteiten staan onder toezicht van een volwassene. Volledige registratie voor de conferentie is vereist voor deze activiteiten, met uitzondering van de universiteitsbeurs.

Dans in Cotillion-stijl voor tieners en alumni: donderdag, 19:30 uur

Historically, dance has been an important social skill. Even our country’s military academies make dance lessons mandatory for young cadets. Dance education develops grace, poise, posture and coordination and has been proven to be an inherent part of our culture. In keeping with these traditions, NCHE will host a dance on Thursday evening from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the Pavilion. There will be instruction on dances such as swing, box step and line dancing. This dance, with the emphasis on instruction, will be taught and lead by Dennis Ritchie, a retired homeschool dad who has taught cotillion for more than twenty-five years. Our teacher’s teaching styles will put the students at ease regardless of their ability, and teens are encouraged to dance with many partners. The dress for these dances is modest casual (what you wear to the conference).

Games Social: Friday, 9:30 PM

A games social will be held on Friday night from the closing of the talent show until 10:45 p.m. NCHE will provide cards, board games and group games.

Alumni Coffee Social: Thursday, 9:45 PM

NCHE will host an alumni coffee social on Thursday night after the dance from 9:45 to 11 p.m. Check at registration for the location.

College Fair: vrijdag van 10:00 tot 15:00 uur

This is an opportunity for students to meet and talk with college recruiters who are interested in homeschooled students. This will be open 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. on Friday and is located the Garden Terrace of the Embassy Suites. See the list of colleges hier.

Talent Showcase: Friday, 7:45 PM

The Talent Showcase is always a hit with the teens. Selections are made from auditions.

Speciale workshops voor tieners

It is a priority of the NCHE conference to offer quality workshops for our homeschooled teens. This year we are particularly excited to share our teen focused speakers with your family. Parents are welcome, of course, but these talks are suitable for teens to attend on their own. If you have teens, or if you are a teen, these should be a must!
