    Our Youth Staff members have experience working with youth in a wide variety of areas such as religious education classes, school settings, other camps and, of course, some are parents too. We are ALL focused on ensuring the safety and fun of every participant.

    If you are new to SUUSI, or if you haven't attended for a while, click (more info) to visit our SUUSI Youth Program Overview page!


    Morning programming for SUUSI youth includes age group activities including traditional camp games, crafts, and music. Afternoons are time for multi-age workshops for our older youth. Younger children remain with their age groups, and many participate in our most popular afternoon activity - nap time! See the Youth Program Overview for more details.


    Youth Programming runs Monday through Friday 8:45 am - 12:15 pm and 1:45 - 4:15 pm to coincide with most adult workshops.
    Youth Workshops will be listed in the spring catalog again in 2010!
