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!
