Learn more here. \n\n\n\nFor this program\, first priority will be given to residents of the Northeastern States\, and then those who haven’t attended Green Acre family programs previously or recently. Since these programs depend on volunteers to assist with the kitchen and in hospitality\, as well as teaching children’s classes\, those serving in this way will also be given priority. \n\n\n\nBecause of the high demand for these programs\, we are continuing with a multi-step registration process. The first step is pre-registration which allows families to indicate their interest in attending the program. This is then followed by three rounds of invitations where families will be invited to formally register for the program. For those who don’t receive an invitation in the first round\, they will automatically be placed on the waiting list. The same process will follow with the second and third rounds of invitations to formally register. \n\n\n\nThe multi-step process will be as follows: \n\n\n\n\nPre-Registration\n\nOn Wednesday\, September 2 at 9:00 AM\, Eastern Time\, we will open our Pre-Registration form.\n\n\n\nThis simplified form will ask for only basic information for each family and is an indicator of interest in attending. Filling out this initial form does not mean one has registered for the program.\n\n\n\nFor this program\, first priority will be given to residents of the Northeastern States\, and then those who haven’t attended Green Acre family programs previously or recently. Since these programs depend on volunteers to assist with the kitchen and in hospitality\, as well as teaching children’s classes\, those serving in this way will also be given priority. Because of this prioritization\, this is not a first come\, first served process.\n\n\n\nPre-registration Link (live at 9:00 AM\, September 2\, 2026)\n\n\n\n\n\nInvitation to Formal Registration\n\nAfter the initial Pre-Registration period\, for those invited to the program\, we will send a separate link to formally invite you to register and you will have three days to register.\n\n\n\nWe will do series of rounds of invitations beginning on September 23rd and lasting approximately six weeks.\n\n\n\nFor those who don’t receive an invitation in the first round\, they will automatically be placed on the waiting list and the same process will follow with the additional rounds.\n\n\n\nPlease be sure not to make any travel arrangements until you have formally registered.
