The title is a combination: ‘Buki di’ is Papiamento, ‘Pret’ is Dutch. We assume that the booklet will be a lot of fun.

Unfortunately, no spare booklets are made. Therefore, when handing out, we were tell to immediately write your name on the booklet and keep it well.

We distribute the Buki to all elementary school children in Aruba. Also children who are homeschooled. It is not available for tourists or other visitors. If you don’t have your book yet, ask at school. Children who are homeschooled and have not received the booklet can  contact us.

No, the booklet is not for sale and is only free for elementary school children living in Aruba.

A few weeks before the major summer vacation, Buki di Pret is distributed to Aruban elementary schools. If a child was absent, a booklet was given to the teacher for him or her. If summer vacation almost starts and you don’t have your booklet yet, ask at your school.

Check the yellow text box in the buki and see what it says. It could say: CALL/WHATSAPP the activity provider itself or it could say: go to WWW.BUKIDIPRETARUBA.COM

Activities often have a maximum number of children who can participate. To avoid disappointment, we ask you to make reservations in advance. Reservations can be made this year starting Thursday, July 4 and July 25 2024 @8 AM. Don’t wait to long, because activities fill up quickly. We recommend all organizations to start reservation not earlier than these dates.

Reservations can be made this year starting Thursday, July 4 for activities in July and July 25 @8 AM for activities in August. Some activities can be reserved through this website. Don’t wait to long, because activities fill up quickly. We recommend all organizations to start reservation not earlier than these dates.

So that the reservations you make aren’t too far out. We try to prevent people from forgetting reservations and not showing up.

Buki di Pret is intended for all elementary school children, from kids in the age of 6-13 who are in class 1 through 6 (some schools call it grade 3 through 8). For some activities, the provider has set an age limit. That limit has then been adopted by Buki di Pret and is clearly stated in the booklet.

That varies depending on the activity. Sometimes it is mandatory that an adult accompanies you. The booklet will say so. Look at the activity and you will see either: Kids only, Adults welcome or Adult mandatory.

Not all of the activities are free. But lots of them are! When you do have to pay, it definitely is cheeper than the regular price!

We’re not sure yet. As long as organizations want to continue to cooperate or support us and we have enough volunteers to keep doing this annually, then we will.

The offers are valid during the summer vacation from Thursday July 11 to Sunday August 18 2024.

We asked all kinds of companies, associations and organizations if they would like to organize a fun activity during the big vacation. Many organizations were happy to do so.

The circulation in 2024 will be 9.200 booklets. Every company, club or foundation that participates also gets a copy in their hands. We also use the booklets as acquisition and promotional materials for future years and like to keep some in our archives.

You as an organization already let us know if you want to be in charge of the registrations yourself or if you want to make use of our reservation program.

Please be aware of the registration moments or be aware of your own calender moments. Please send a reminder to the parents/children via email or whatsapp a day ahead to avoid no shows. Our reservation program works with reminder emails.

Nice! Of course you are welcome for the next edition. Please   contact us.

The 2023 edition only includes an ad from the children’s phone. This is an exception. In principle, no advertisements are included. In consultation, we can determine whether it is desirable to include ads in future editions. Please  contact us.
