International Affairs Family Conference 2025

July 20 - July 27

Building Economic and Climate Justice.

Join us for a dynamic conference and hear from leaders who are shifting the flow of capital and power to support communities that face the worst of the climate crisis and the racial wealth gap.

Children’s program:

During programming time youth can look forward to connecting with peers and the Island.  Our friendly and engaging children’s staff fill each day with fun and new experiences including both traditional touchstone activities like billy-goat walks and trips to Smuttynose along with activities inspired by the conference theme of the week or other special interests.

The Youth Program meets twice daily for two-hour sessions: 9:50 a.m. – 12 noon and 1:20 – 3 p.m. There are exceptions to these times: The Toddlers meet in the mornings only; the Seniors don’t meet in the morning, instead meeting in the afternoon, and at night (8 – 10 p.m.). Our Youth Program invites participants between 18 months and 18 years old. Groups are developed based on the number of children registered overall and in any given age group, with an eye toward keeping groups a fun, manageable size while meeting the needs of the youth in age-appropriate ways.
