Inparent here again (previous poster). My D (16) went to THINK for two summers (age 15 & 16). It was fabulous for her, and the staff and other kids were super supportive. I think she had never really been pushed to her limit academically before, and it was exhilarating. She also LOVED being with other smart kids for three weeks. She traveled from the midwest for it, so it was a pretty big deal. The only issue she really had was that it was tough to go back to the normal pace of school in the fall both years (too slow). I honestly don't think she had time to get homesick, they really work hard!
