Children's Programs at General Assembly

The General Assembly Planning Committee is committed to making the GA a multigenerational experience and to making GA accessible and welcoming to families with children.

All children are welcome to attend General Assembly (GA) events with their parents or guardians. New this year: Children who have not yet entered high school (or its equivalent) are welcome to attend GA events with their parents or guardians at no cost, but are still required to register.

For parents who need child care or programmed activities specifically for children, several low-cost Children's Programs are available. Advance registration is required and space is limited.

Children's Programs are subsidized by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) at more than $300 per child. Please pay as you are able; the minimum fee per child is $35/day. Children may not be registered for GA Children's Programs without a GA registered parent or guardian. Space is limited. Registrations received after May 1 will be subject to a $35 late fee. No registrations will be accepted after May 31.
