THE CHAUTAUQUA EXPERIENCE
Chautauqua is a unique walking community, filled with Victorian homes, an abundance of flowers, tree-lined streets, brick sidewalks and a friendly, safe atmosphere. No one can explain Chautauqua. It must be experienced to be appreciated or understood. Students who participate in the Order's four-week program receive the opportunity to grow spiritually and intellectually, develop Christian leadership skills, and share friendship with young and old alike. The "Chautauqua Experience" promises to be one of the most memorable and unique experiences of your life.

My introduction
to the Order came through my daughter who was a scholarship student in
1999. I observed kind, caring volunteers setting up a loving, supportive
environment in which young people could take root strongly in a Christian
center. I liked the ecumenical, open nature. I liked the people I knew
who were members... I have learned about the power of small deeds and
that has given me hope and a sense of optimism... I look forward to the
next event or project because it is centered in Love.

Working with other
Christians is very important to me, and the Order breaks down barriers
in ways that must be pleasing to the Heavenly Father of us all. My life
is certainly different from what it would have been if I had not joined
The King's Daughters and Sons.
