Each age group also has a week's menu of specially-designed activities. Alumni children are divided into five "color" groups, according to age. While returning classmates attend cocktail parties, symposia, and concerts, the youngest "grape" group children will visit the Big Apple Circus, and the college-aged "blue" group will dance at The Metro club...
