Youth

Boys' and Girls' Club - The Boys' and Girls' Club is considered the oldest day camp in the United States. With most buildings dating from the 1890s and the turn of the century, the Boys' and Girls' Club grows out of a Chautauqua tradition of excellence in sports and physical education.

Children's School - Built in 1921, the Children's School pioneered the concept of nursery school education. Additions made in 1926, 1947 and 1969 were followed by a full renovation and expansion in 1994 to its present size and capacity.

Group One - Begun in 1997, Group One is a program designed for children who will enter first grade in the fall. Serving as a transition between Children's School and the Boys' and Girls' Club, this special full-day program (9 a.m.-noon and 2 p.m.-4 p.m.) is held Monday- Friday and uses the Sheldon Hall of Education facilities in the morning and the Boys' and Girls' Club facilities in the afternoon.
