Teens ages 14–17 are welcome to attend the Kulia I Ka Punawai Hula Conference at the Sheraton Hotel and Fairplex Conference Center with a parent or designated guardian. Minors must stay in the same or adjoining hotel room as their parent or guardian, who is responsible for their supervision throughout the event.

Guardians do not need to take the same classes as the minor but must remain reachable by phone and present on-site at all times. Each minor’s lanyard will include emergency contact information for quick communication.

A signed Parent Waiver and Consent Form is required for all minors. The waiver confirms responsibility for the child’s safety and releases Kulia I Ka Punawai, the Sheraton Hotel, and the Fairplex Conference Center from liability. This ensures a safe and enriching experience for all youth participants.

Parents or guardians who are not registered participants of the Hula Conference may purchase a Meal Ticket to join their minor for all scheduled meals during the event. The Meal Ticket includes all provided meals for the duration of the conference, regardless of whether the ticket holder attends or eats at each meal.

Meal Tickets must be purchased separately from the Hula Conference registration package and are available exclusively through the Hula Conference Store. All Meal Ticket purchases must be completed no later than March 31, 2026. No Meal Tickets will be sold after this date or on-site during the event.
