Youth Program at Summer Institute
The Youth Program is for youth that have completed grades 6-12. Youth who have just completed 6th
grade may opt to attend either the Children’s Program or the Youth Program. Youth program activities
build social and individual skills, provide youth with opportunities for learning more about their beliefs/values, and encourage the formation of long lasting friendships.
This year junior and senior high youth will have different theme speakers.
All youth will participate in the remainder of Youth Program activities, e.g., morning workshops,
touch groups, Youth Vespers, etc., together. At SI, early afternoon and evening programming is
intergenerational so that children, youth and adults have a chance to meet and mix.
See this year's SI BROCHURE for details on the JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH YOUTH SPEAKERS and additional details on the program for this year.
Young Adults (18 through 35) at Summer Institute
Join us in the mornings and afternoons as we build
our community by experiencing, stretching and growing together. In 2001, four young adults attended SI. In 2005, the young adults tipped the Summer Institute
scales and helped bring the attendance to over 500 for the first time in SI history.
After the 2006 bridging ceremony, there were 60 young adults present.
The Young Adult community is growing and expanding every year. In 2007 we will be concentrating on the
legendary Bionic Ox. Don’t know what that is? You have to show up to find out.
Whether or not you catch breakfast and the SI theme speaker, wake up to a bionic bullhorn with the young
adults at Open Horn Gallery for a daily informal brunch. Okay, maybe it’s just a pound of bagels and
eighteen gallons of coffee. We will provide an IV for the coffee, and bagels may be consumed by osmosis.
Join us in the early afternoon workshop time for Deep Fun, with an added dash of touch groups.
Don’t forget! Monte Carlo Night: The Premiere Young Adult Sponsored Summer Institute Black
Tie Affair. Bring your best dress, and be prepared to host the biggest party of SI 2007.
In addition to Monte Carlo Night, there will be several other activities scattered throughout the week. Join
us for the Youth/Young Adult Mixer, young adult vespers, YA led community vespers, and random excessive
merriment.

Can‛t make it for a whole week at SI? Have we got a solution for you... the
ANNUAL YOUNG ADULT SUMMER CON
We realize that it is often difficult to arrange a whole week away from our various commitments. So if you‛ve been interested in SI, but found it difficult to attend, why not come for just a few days? We would love to have you!
You can check in at 7 p.m. Thursday and stay through Saturday morning SI check-out for only $50.00! This includes excellent meals (vegetarian and non) and your own square of the floor, as well as all the programming, worship, and activities SI has to offer, including the YA Theme Speaker. Bring your own sleeping bag, pillows & toiletries, as you would for a weekend conference.
YOU MUST REGISTER BEFORE JULY 1 (new deadline) TO ATTENDTHIS CON, but you can still pay at the door. If you think you “might” be able to come, please send in a registration form with a “maybe.” If you wish to register for the whole week, the late fee has been waived for young adults this year.
Use the registration form provided in this booklet, and fill in the YA CON line. See UU soon!!
