My son LOVED Duke TIP. He insists he's going back next summer and says that may be the only "camp" he does. He took Microeconomics on East Campus, and was happy to go to class 6 hrs a day (hard for me to imagine at age 12). The east campus dorms are not air conditioned (though commons areas and classrooms are) and I clearly remember how hot and humid summertime is in NC, but he loved it nonetheless. They had festivals and tours, state park visits, and lots of other activities. I really had hoped he'd try different campuses each summer as part of the college search, but he said the best part is going back year after year to build relationships with great people. There are so many course choices, so hopefully he'll try completely something different next summer.
