The Summer Enrichment Program for Gifted and Talented Youth provides current 4th through 9th grade students an opportunity to explore a blend of enrichment classes and adventure programs that are designed to encourage and to foster intellectual, social, and physical growth. Campers attend hands-on activities in enrichment programs each morning and participate in adventure activities in the afternoons. This type of programming offers campers a broad range of social participation, group responsibility, and individual decision making. Morning enrichment activities introduce campers to areas of science, history, environmental studies, arts and crafts, journalism, music, dramatic arts, and cultural studies.
Campers attend all the activities offered.
Campers will attend 2-3 separate activities each morning. The activities are directed specifically to the appropriate age level. The planning of activities offered each summer and the hiring of instructors are finalized in late spring. Afternoon adventure programs place campers in fun, challenging and stimulating environments that allow campers to learn more about themselves and their relationships with other people. These practical living skills can be used when working with others in school, family, and in other group or team settings.
