Our summer school offers the opportunity to connect with youth from all over the Atlantic region.  

The young people who attend our summer school have a fantastic time. Our keynote presenters give the same classes to the youths as they do to the adults. After classes in the afternoons, youths can go swimming, hiking or canoeing. At night, we hold campfires, and our talent show is the social highlight of the entire event. If you have a knack for music, dance or any of the arts, why not come and share it with us? 

For youth and adults alike, the cost of going to summer school can be an issue. However, if you plan ahead you’ll find that it’s not out of reach. You could try saving a little money throughout the year. You could put aside a portion of your allowance, babysitting money or recycling refunds with an aim of using it to pay for your trip to summer school. You could also organize fund-raising event with other youth. It helps if you begin planning and building your summer school fund as early as possible.

You will find that the time, effort and money spent getting to summer school is worth the effort. Summer school is a good place to deepen your knowledge and appreciation of the Bahá’í Faith, to make new friends and to consult with other young people about how you can best serve Bahá’u’lláh.

“The future has always belonged to youth, and now more than ever before, in order to ensure the fulfillment of Bahá'u'lláh's plans for this planet, the youth must labour and pioneer. Now is the time, therefore, to consecrate yourselves and prepare yourselves for the work that lies ahead of you, and of all the young Bahá'ís the world-over. You must study both the teaching and the Administration, in order to be ready and qualified--qualified with both knowledge and shining personal characters…”
