Terms and rules
Short, human and honest. These are the rules that keep CHA safe, fair and fun for everyone who walks through the gate.
Last updated September 2026
CHA 2026 is the 11th Aruba Youth Congress, Congreso Hubenil Aruba, held on 15 October to 17 October 2026. It is organised by volunteers together with churches from across the island.
It has two parts. Workshops run at Iglesia Peniel on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 October, 9:00am to 1:00pm, they need registration and they are free. Worship nights run at Iglesia Maranatha on all three evenings, 7:30pm to 10:00pm, they are free, they need no registration and they are open to everyone of any age.
By registering, or by taking part, you agree to these terms and to the instructions of CHA staff and volunteers.
The workshops are open to young people aged 12 to 25. The worship nights are open to everyone, whatever their age. You do not need to belong to a church, and you do not need to believe anything in particular to attend. Everyone is welcome exactly as they are.
CHA should be one of the safest days of the year for a young person in Aruba. That only works if everyone helps.
Tell us during registration about any medical condition, allergy or accessibility need our team should know about.
In an emergency we will arrange medical assistance and contact the emergency contact you gave us. You give permission for this when you register, whatever your age.
Photos and video are taken during CHA and may be used on our website and social media to share the story of the event. Photo consent is optional and asked separately during registration, and you can take part fully without it.
You can withdraw photo consent at any time by writing to us, and we will remove the images we control.
Programmes change. Sessions, speakers, times and locations may be adjusted, and a session may be cancelled if too few people sign up or a speaker cannot attend. We will tell registered participants by email or on this website as early as we can.
If the congress has to be moved or cancelled, for example because of weather or a situation beyond our control, we will announce it here and by email. The workshop fee is collected at Iglesia Peniel on the day, so nothing is taken from you in advance and there is nothing to refund.
The content on this site belongs to CHA and is here so you can learn about the event and register for it. Please do not copy it for commercial use, do not try to break into or overload the site, and do not submit false registrations.
We do our best to keep information accurate and up to date, but times and details may change. Where something on this site conflicts with what staff tell you on the day, follow the staff.
How we handle your personal information, including information about participants under 18, is described in full in our privacy notice. In short: we ask for as little as possible, only the people who need it can see it, we never sell it, and you can ask us to delete it.
If anything here is unclear, ask us. Write to congresohubenilaruba@gmail.com or call +297 730-8130 / +297 568-6207 and a real person will answer.
Read the privacy notice too, then come and be part of the day.
