On the first day of every session, all day long, villages meet the program staff at the Olympic Circle for what's called (I think) specialty split-up or specialty sign-up. It's quite a system. One program staff person from each specialty area steps forward, in turn, and presents (in excited terms--"ballyhoo") what fun you will have at this or that particular program area. Then the kids decide which activity to choose, whereupon they go every day for four or five days.
