Registration

  • Please choose this option only if you have a current NHAC membership. Choosing this option without a current membership delays finalizing your registration. Thank you.
  • Please choose this option if you do not have a current NHAC membership. If you are registering a child or university student, consider the $25 yearly student membership-it's less than the $30 non-member fee! As an adult signing up for more than one class, it will cost less to add a yearly membership instead of paying the non-member fee for each class! Please click on the MEMBERSHIP tab for more information. Thank you.
