I'm very sorry about your daughter's negative experience. What grade level was the program? I have heard many reviews of the CTY middle school and high school program, and they have all been very positive. People often use terms like, "life changing" when they summarize their CTY summer experiences. I'm looking into CTY for my 11 yo this year.
I've heard more mixed results for HG+ kids at SIG.
I think it just goes to show that there's variability in any program, and all we parents can do is gather the facts as best we can and try our best to find the right fit for our individual children.
