Summer Programs
The summer programs, offered to girls entering grades 7 through 9, provide access to most of Porter's facilities and staff.
The Sarah Porter Leadership Institute Level I offers girls the opportunity to "learn, practice and hone" their problem solving, quick thinking, teamwork and trust skills. The Sarah Porter Leadership Institute Level II gives those who have attended Level I of the program the opportunity to more completely develop their leadership skills. This program includes an off campus camping and rafting trip, which test the skills and responsibilities that come with those activities.
The Porter's Junior Model U.N. is "designed to teach students about civics, current events, effective communication, and global perspective through engaging and interactive lessons and exercises." The program concludes with a "two-day Model UN-style conference at Porter's."

Holds up each summer day and shakes
It out suspiciously, lest swarms
Of grape-dark clouds are lurking there....”
