One and two week sessions of an "Intermediate Program" for 6th-8th graders are offered at 3 different universities: College of William and Mary, Stanford, and Amherst. Through stimulating questions, discussion, and facilitation, young minds make connections between the themes and scenes of great literature and their own lives and dreams. The Great Books Summer Program helps young minds gain confidence and find a voice in their own capacity for critical thinking and engagement with Big Ideas.
Many types of classes and workshops year-round for various ages.
Johns Hopkins University has a great site called "Cognito: Connecting Young Thinkers Around the World" with lots of options for students who want unique summer camp opportunities. You can search the site by elementary, middle, high school and location. Check it out!
Academically motivated students, (grades 5-7), experience campus life at this co-ed residential camp while participating in a variety of fun activities and challenging projects!
