My 8 year old wants to attend either MSU or Auburn University's vet camp. Thing is, she has to be either going into 6th grade or 13 years old. She REALLY wants to do this. Academically she is ready, emotionally she isn't and I would not send her now even if she could go.
But . . . I would like an alternative. Any ideas?
We sent her to "kids college" last summer for 2 science classes at a local community college and while the activities were interesting there were waaay too many kids for her. It's more of a holding pen for kids for summer than any kind of academic enrichment.
We'd be willing to travel in the southeast too if anyone has any terrific ideas.
She is specifically wanting:
small classes
hands-on activities
related to science/animals
REALLY interesting - "not just looking at bugs and trying to identify them" (she told me yesterday as we looked into our local zoo's summer camps)
She's very hard to please sometimes. lol
