The Willie Hutch Jones Educational and Sports Program (WHJESP) is proud to announce its Summer 2025 youth programming, continuing a legacy of providing free, high-quality educational and athletic opportunities to children across Buffalo and Lackawanna. Open to youth ages 6 to 16, this summer’s offerings include sports clinics, competitive leagues, and special events—all focused on healthy lifestyles, character development, and fun.

Now in its 41st year, WHJESP will introduce a modest $20 non-refundable registration fee per child, which grants access to all summer clinics and activities. This fee helps offset rising operational costs while preserving the accessibility that has defined the program for over four decades.
“We’ve built this program on the belief that every child—regardless of income—deserves a safe and inspiring place to grow during the summer,” said Willie Hutch Jones, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of WHJESP. “With help from our incredible sponsors and volunteers, we’ve kept that promise. This small fee ensures we can keep doing it, bigger and better, for years to come.”
Clinic and event spaces are limited, and early registration is strongly encouraged. Once capacity is reached, registration for each program will close. Registration is available online via sport-specific links at www.whjesp.org.

Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.
