So I'm passing on the list below as suggestions for the gifted kids in your life. I got this list from another person who got it from someone else...so not recommending or taking responsibility for the camps listed below, but think they sound like fun and are worth checking out. Well, except for SALTS - that one I've been on and can personally recommend, without reservation. So fun.
Hope you find the fun in the summer! Carmen
