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."

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or programs:
“yet another summer loath to go
Although the scythes hang in the apple trees.”
—Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
