[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd consider starting music lessons.  They can be a great challenge for a smart kid.

Look for summer camps that build skills.  Rock climbing is great for problem solving and planning.  Museum of Contemporary Art and Art House 7 offer excellent art camps that encourage creativity.  Outdoor camps like Calleva encourage engagement and interest in nature.  Finishing School offers excellent sewing camps that encourage kids to use executive function, measure, and think in 3D.

Russian School of Math does have an Arlington location, but I'd hold off for a few years.  Encourage learning through play for now.[/quote]

I was coming to say the same thing. Neither of my academically gifted kids wanted more academics outside of school at that age. We did a whole range of activities ranging from theater to art to chess to sports. Instead of loading your kid up with worksheets, help them to find passions and interests. And go to the library and encourage reading. [/quote]
