Hotel Scam Alert
Each year, a third-party company claims to be booking rooms on behalf of Great Homeschool Conventions. This is a scam; their rates are $45–$70 higher than what GHC has negotiated with area hotels.
We have nothing to do with this company and they do not represent us in any way.
Please book your accommodations through one of the options on the Great Homeschool Conventions website to take advantage of our negotiated rates.
