Each year the students engage in many activities outside of their academics which are designed to promote social maturity, encourage the development of friends from different backgrounds, highlight the students' talents and abilities, and just to relieve stress and have fun. In addition to that, the students usually have two nights especially for dancing. Then the students vote for Mr. and Miss Summer Ventures. It's just plain good fun.
Students sing, dance, play their instruments, groups do skits, and more.
It is exciting and lots of fun for everyone. Many of these students are exceptionally talented for real, and the rest perform because they just like to. Every act is cheered and applauded enthusiastically by the audience. Pictures are taken and later appear in the annual yearbook. On the final day of the program each student gives a 10 minute presentation on their research project.
