<h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">All students attend
classes from 8:30 a.m. to noon, Monday through Saturday. From
lunch until 8 p.m., the school transforms into a summer camp.
After lunch, there is a structured activity period, during which
campers play in an organized intramural program. This is followed
by a period in which the boys and girls can choose their own
recreation. Options include tennis, swimming, boating, basketball,
and weightlifting. On rainy days, the indoor pool is available.
After dinner, there is mail call, then free time until study
hall begins at 8 p.m. At that time, all students return to their
rooms for a 2-hour, teacher-supervised study period. At 10 p.m.,
lights go out. </font></h3>
