Programme
17–20 December 2026 · Rarotonga, Cook Islands
More than a timetable
The sessions below are the backbone of our four days together, and the programme will keep growing as December gets closer. Alongside them, we're weaving in time to meet each other, connect across the four branches, and make sure our tamariki are part of every day. Keep an eye on Updates for the latest.
Many of us are meeting for the first time. We'll make space to introduce ourselves, our branch, and where we sit in the family line.
Activities through each day to mix the four branches — sharing stories, kaikai and photos, and building bonds ahead of Bambridge 2027.
Activities for children and young people will run alongside the programme, so they feel part of the reunion too. Nō te Uki ki Mua — for generations to come.
