What is this About?


GARide Share is a website for families who love Green Acre Baha'i School, and whose children attend any of the summer youth "camps":
  • Camp Green Acre
  • Junior Youth Academy
  • Badasht Academy

This site will attempt to facilitate those families who wish to carpool connect other families looking for the same.  That might mean you are looking for a ride, or expect to have an empty seat in your mini-van and are offering a ride, or you are interested in driving another child one way in exchange for having their family drive the other way.  Participation is open to anyone who states they have registered or definitely plan to register for a specific Green Acre program, and who considers themselves within driving distance of Green Acre.

While we have discussed the idea with Green Acre staff and received a warm reception to the idea, this site is NOT an official service of Green Acre, or any Baha'i Assembly or Council.  Rather, it is a effort initiated by a long-time "Green Acre dad".

How it will work: privacy is key, and we will not publicly disclose details about your child.  We will be asking for the parent's name and contact info, town, the programs in which you are interested in carpooling, and the number of seats offered or requested.  Once provided, you will have access to the same level of information about families attending the same program.  It will then be up to those participants to contact each other, see if their arrangement is a good fit, to work out pick-up or rendez-vous details, and to decide how transportation costs will be shared.

At this time, we are accepting ride offers and requests for the 2012 summer programs.  To get the details, please see:
