Our Record

It is difficult to summarize our "track record" in a few short pages because our history is more than statistics. It is pride, tradition, success, failure, comradery, spirit, and all of those intangible things that go into building an institution. But since statistics are the shortest method we have to review our past, here are a few numbers from 1982 - 2009:

1. Average number of youth participants each summer:

150

2. Number of graduates from our program (defined as those students who stay the summer after their graduation from high school):
