camp for nerdy, precocious 3-4 year old

[Anonymous]

Thinking of sending DS to camp this summer. He's already reading, super into books and machines but not so much into sports (can't really even throw a ball) although he can manage swimming and gymnastics. Not into arts and crafts. Likes music.
Any ideas? I feel like he'd be so behind on something like soccer and would complain; he's also on the smaller side.

I'm looking for 4 weeks or so, probably mostly continuous. Money is not a major factor. Any ideas?

No four year old is behind in soccer. Or any other sport for that matter, with the possible exception of womens artistic gymnastics where you peak as a yound teenager.

Where do you live?

I'm in md. In terms of being behind in soccer, I mean he can't kick a ball or throw a ball overhand. No interest whatsoever in leathing, at least from me.

I can't believe you labelled your preschooler 'nerdy'. And that you say he's not really into sports because 'can't really throw a ball'.

He's THREE.

what's weird about it? I have a three year old. clearly since birth much more interested in books and people than motivated by the physical world. kids are different.

No one is denying that children are different, but he's three and his parent has already labelled him a non athletic nerd. Talk about stifling growth.

Obviously kids are different. But call you by a pejorative term at such a young age is totally ridiculous.

That's not fair to the OP. She was describing the kind of activities that her son would prefer. My son is older, but when he was 3 and now he would have been unhappy at a camp that focused primarily on sports. Nothing wrong with recognizing that.

Since birth he is more interested in people than the physical world? What does that even mean? most likely he is weird because you are.

Do three year old camps actually have a "focus"??
