You might want to look at Camp Broadstone in the mountains of North Carolina, put on by Appalacian State University. This camp has been discontinued, according to their website: http://www.campbroadstone.com/

I definitely second Yunasa and Yunasa West. My daughter loves the high ropes course at Yunasa. Given that they have one in my state now, we may look into Yunasa for my younger dd this summer. Do you think that a HG+ 2e kid (not one who stands out as odd or seriously disabled) would fit in well there?

My son attends Mountain Camp in the mountains in Northern California. Many of the kids are from the San Francisco area or Southern California. The camp doesn't target gifted children but my son found many kids with similar interests.
They have about 70 activities from fencing and movie making to fishing, waterskiing and hiking every day. Two week campers can take overnight hikes and do a huge ropes course. They also build forts with random wood and tools laying around that they have to work with. It was truly an experience of a lifetime- but he's going back again this year!
They have a setup to pick up kids from the airport that fly in from all over the country. Nearly all of their counselors are college students from foreign countries. My son was fascinated by his counselor from rural Wales!

Nearly all of their counselors are college students from foreign countries. Are the counselors / campers ethnically diverse, or just geographically diverse?

The counselors all speak English as a first language and seemed to come from English speaking countries like UK, Australia, New Zealand and a few from South Africa I think. I didn't notice them being a particularly diverse group.

Although these threads are really great. It would be great to have a database, by regions, with reviews. Anyone know of something like that?

That camp in N Cali looks fabulous but holy prices! My son saw the pictures and was in-love, my wallet, not so much.
