Summer, Part I: Structured Activities

The summer program is a unique part of every child’s experience at HCYR. Summer is divided into two parts. During the first six weeks, until mid-July, all residents participate in a scheduled set of structured electives, including a work program to earn personal spending money, as well as educational and recreational activities to enhance personal skills such as acting, painting, swimming, playing sports, or riding horses, among many other electives.

Summer, Part II: Venturing Out

During the weeks before school starts, HCYR families plan activities such as educational trips, camping, community projects, or leisure outings.  Often residents develop their own personal projects.  Some find jobs, some explore personal interests, some try out for plays in the local community.  Thus, summer balances scheduled educational and vocational activities with an opportunity for families and individuals to create their own schedules.
