RE enrollment

Welcome to the UUCF Religious Exploration Program

Online enrollment is required for participation in all RE classes, off-site events and Nursery. Please enroll your child(ren) during your first month of visiting UUCF RE, even if they do not attend weekly.

The regular RE Program classes are free to all. The Our Whole Lives (OWL) classes are free to children of UUCF members and pledging friends (except HS OWL). If you are not members or pledging friends, please pay the OWL fees listed below at the time of enrollment.

1st grade OWL: $50
5th grade OWL: $50
8th grade OWL: $200
High School OWL: $45 for UUCF members/pledging friends (to cover meal costs); $75 for community participants

If these RE fees are a burden for your family, please request a waiver from the RE program. We do not want fees to be a barrier to your child’s participation in OWL.

UUCF welcomes all donations to the RE program to help offset our expenses this year. No amount is too small. Your donation is tax-deductible and greatly appreciated.

Donations by check are also appreciated. Please send checks to: UUCF, 2709 Hunter Mill Road, Box 130, Oakton VA 22124.

Before enrolling your child (Nursery to Grade 12), please read our RE Safety Policies and Guidelines.
