Winter Program
SUMMARY
The winter program provides the
boys with the opportunity to become familiar with the Berwick
philosophy. It is from the competitive winter program that boys are
selected to go to Maine for the summer.
WINTER
All new boys are required to attend a
series of meetings to become acquainted with the subjects and skills
applicable to island life in the summer. Winter weekends encompass a
number of activities, including building a haunted house, selling of
Christmas trees, first aid lessons, boating safety lessons, and
preparing for the coming summer. Alternate arrangements can be made for
out of state residents.
Each boys is asked to earn
fifty dollars during the winter to contribute to their summer program. In this
way, each boy feels that he is contributing financially to help the
program. No on can "pay to send his boy" to Berwick; boys are chosen on
the basis of sincerity and interest in the program. The operation is
financed by contributions from interested people, such as you. Gifts,
large or small, help to send boys to camp or college. Parents are asked
to contribute as they can. Balancing a budget for forty or fifty boys
is always a most difficult task and it is people such as you who help to
make the program possible.
