At SUUSI, youth are divided into groups by age. Our Youth Staff members have experience working with youth in RE programs, school settings, a variety of camps and, of course, prior SUUSI experience. Many were once SUUSI Youths themselves. All Youth Staff are focused on ensuring the safety and fun of every participant.

Morning programming for SUUSI youth includes a wide variety of age group activies including traditional camp games, crafts, music, and games. Afternoons are time for multi-age Children's Worship and 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 9 am - noon and 2 - 4 pm to coincide with most adult workshops Youth Workshops will be listed in the spring catalog again in 2008!

In 2006, the Childcare Co-op was officially adopted by SUUSI Youth! The childcare co-operative program is designed for parents who wish to share nighttime supervision
of their children throughout the week of SUUSI. The co-op makes it easier for parents to enjoy all that SUUSI Nightlife has to offer. The childcare co-op is open to children ages newborn to 13. All adults who stay in the co-op dorm participate in the shared supervision program. Adults with children who do not wish to participate in the shared supervision program should choose to stay in the non co-op family dorm. The Childcare co-op provides parents with approximately 25 hours of shared supervision for their children in the evening during Nightlife programming. In return, each parent typically contributes 2-2½ hours of supervision. Parents or guardians wishing to participate in the co-op should check the childcare co-op option on the registration form in Section B. Co-op adults who have SUUSI staff responsibilities between 9:30 PM and 1:00 AM (or later on Friday) should notify the co-op coordinator of potential conflicts as soon as possible. Lois Stanton, the childcare co-op coordinator can be reached at childcareco-op@suusi.org.
