Our young people participate in the first half hour of worship, sitting with their parents and other adults in the Meeting house. They depart to individual groups of instruction until 11:00. The Upper Group's session is longer, running until 11:15. Once a month we have school first, then go into Meeting so that we can hear the afterthoughts and announcements. In the summer months, we offer informal activities, such as reading groups, plays, interviewing Meeting members, or playground time.
