AntsyPants: We did SIG here last year and it was ok. We found the camp at the last minute and I missed the orietnation about their teaching/learning philosophy. I didn't realize that the kids are expected to pick their own projects and DS-then 7 came home unsure of what was expected of him. When I finally realized what was going on, he had already been sort of backed into whatever project was left. This year, he is ready to go and already has plans for what he wants to do. I think last year he was surprised that he would have so much autonomy, never having had that before in a structured learning environment. As for other PG kids, I don't know. But the teaching and learning is so individualized, it should work!
Mote Marine has a one week summer camp that is great. DS came home proclaiming he was going to be a marine biologist after that camp.
Stetson University (4 hours away) has some summer gifted camp programs, too.
The county has an environmental camp and a camping camp which your son should be old enough for if he is interested in nature at all.
DS loves the beach and is doing a skim board camp for 2 of the weeks this summer.
We are going to Colorado for the Epsilon camp for math since DS has been begging for a math camp since he was 6!
Let me know what you find for summer activities here is SWFL!! Kate
