We are thrilled to announce some of our family programs for 2026. We have two Summer Schools and a Winter School designed for families to learn how they can make a unique contribution to the community building process developing at the local level. The dates for these programs and the Pre-Registration are:
June 24 – 28 | Family Program 1 > Pre-Registration starts March 11
August 19 – 23 | Family Program 2 > Pre-Registration starts April 1
December 26 – 30 | Winter School > Pre-Registration starts September 2
For these family programs, 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 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. For the specific dates and details of each program’s pre-registration please see the links below.
Dates for Pre-Registration (indicating interest in attending)
March 11 | Pre-Registration for Family Program 1 (June 24 – 28)

In addition, there will be more programs focused on families that are organized by the Regional Training Institute and the Regional Baha’i Council in the coming months.
