Children over 15 are registered in the adult program. If six or more children in an age grouping are enrolled by May 15, we will organize a junior reading program. This alone is a wonderful basis for friendship, relaxation, discovery, and a unique and meaningful experience. Participants live in the Colby dormitories, eat together in a College dining room, and are assigned to a discussion group for the week. The emphasis is on the reader and the text.
Informal discussions go on over bridge, after tennis games and out at the lake.
The food at Colby is good and plentiful. Living arrangements are plain but comfortable, with some amenities, such as fans or bedboards, available. It is, however, dormitory living. Special arrangements can sometimes be made for participants with special needs. We mail books to participants soon after registration.
