[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD had no interest in traditional summer camp when she was younger, but by older middle school and early high school she was very interested in doing a few weeks away at more of a special interest type summer program. In her case she did ones where she stayed on a college campus so it definitely wasn’t “camp” but it was a great opportunity to develop some independence, meet people from all over etc. etc. I can’t speak to what it would be like to go to an old fashioned summer camp for the first time at the older end, but I can tell you that special interest summer programs don’t have “camp culture” in the same groups of friends returning every year so it’s much easier to show up and be a part of things.[/quote]

Can you share the program?[/quote]

Sure - she did the Great Books Summer Program at Amherst College and Summit Debate at Emerson College in Boston. Neither of these programs were run by the colleges, they were just housed there for the facilities.[/quote]
