Late Evening Childcare Co-op
The wonderful growth of our community has made our previous arrangement of Nightlighting unworkable. This year we will initiate a cooperative childcare arrangement for those parents who wish to share nighttime supervision of their children throughout the week of Summer Institute. The co-op makes it easier for parents to enjoy all the late evening activities that SI has to offer. The childcare co-op is open to all families of children who are participating in the Children’s Morning Program.
The childcare co-op provides parents with approximately 15 hours of shared supervision for their children in the late evening program slot after Vespers. In return, each parent typically contributes approximately 3 hours of supervision. Parents or guardians wishing to participate in the co-op should indicate the childcare co-op housing option on the registration form. Co-op adults who have SI staff responsibilities after Vespers should notify the co-op coordinator of potential conflicts as soon as possible.
The Childcare Co-op Coordinator will be available during registration on Sunday afternoon to assist in the synchronizing. Additional opportunities to coordinate childcare will be available during the dorm mixer on Sunday evening. Additionally, there will be a small pool of folks who will serve as childcare providers to fill in any gaps in the co-op structure.
“PEEK”
A Summer Institute Tradition that defies description. If you have never encountered a “PEEK” experience, brace yourself for the perfect UU game. It’s a loud, fun, and quick card game for everyone, no matter what age. Everyone leaves a winner, with a prize and a smile. For veteran “PEEK” players, the management hopes that you will once again gladly contribute a “PEEK” prize for the festivities.

THE CANTEEN
Want a fun place to unwind, talk, relax, play games, listen to live music? The Canteen has been set aside as an alcohol-free space
THE PUB
What would SI be without the Pub? From 9:30 PM onward, adults gather there to socialize, share a pub beverage, make music, play games and make new friends while reconnecting with old ones. It’s a great place to relax and hang out when the day’s events are over. In compliance with state laws, no alcohol is permitted to be brought into the Pub.
