Posting this here so that it will come up in a summer related search...
DD10 just returned from a 19 night CTY camp at Lafayette College in Easton. She had a blast. 24x7x19 contact with fellow intellectually curious kids was a rare treat for her as we live in an area with a low human population density.
Kids were very well supervised while given an appropriate illusion of freedom and kept very engaged with both the learning and the social aspects of the camp. DD had never been away from home for more than one night without either my wife or I around so we were a bit concerned about how well our sometimes very intense daughter would fare. Our concerns were completely unnecessary!
We had a chat with her tutor and assistant, apparently our daughter excelled on group exercises - something her NT school has consistently dinged her on. I will enjoy beating them over the head with this alternate view if we continue to hear it from them LOL
She is come down to Earth now laying on her bed at home with the family dog curled up with her but she is positively glowing!
