The information about the camps in this presentation was provided by parents at the January 2014 ELP Parent Partnership meeting. The ELP Parent Partnership is a pilot program for the 2013-14 school year. The Partnership’s mission is to create avenues for support, networking, information and advocacy for high-ability learners and their families. If you have any questions about the ELP Parent Partnership or this PowerPoint presentation, please contact us at [email protected].

Most of the camps in the presentation were attended by students who attend the West Des Moines schools and who had good experiences at camp. For questions about the camps, the websites have been provided.

At the end of the presentation, there are some other opportunities for families of high-ability students as well as a list of camps for students interested in math and science.

This is not an exhaustive list of summer options, but rather a good place to begin your search.

Currently enrolling for summer 2014; early bird discounts available

Must find own housing. Great way to combine a Chicago vacation with camp.

Adult classes offered at same time so parent can take classes too. (I did - was quite fun!!)

Our son LOVED this camp and made fast friends. Every day was an adventure and he regaled me with stories from class about what he’d learned and what they had performed/created. Counselors and teachers were kid-friendly and made class and breaks fun. Good class management, students always engaged.

We chose this atypical option because our son is a perfectionist and sometimes doesn’t enjoy working with others. 2nd City teaches how to deal with mistakes (there are no mistakes, only opportunities), work with other people, say “yes AND” to build on each others’ ideas, etc. A perfect learning situation, especially for a kid that loves performing.

SENG Supporting Emotional Needs of the

GiftedMost conferences about giftedness focus primarily on educational issues. While they may include a few presentations about the social and emotional development and needs of gifted people and the challenges facing the gifted population, these presentations play a minor role.

SENG conferences reverse the priorities. They believe that recognizing, understanding, and accepting the social and emotional needs of this population are the first priorities for teachers, parents, and counselors. SENG supports strong gifted education programs, but believe the emotional piece is the foundation for the development of healthy, happy, well-adjusted, appropriately educated, and contributing gifted members of society.
