Hi
So this is not exactly a terribly significant dilemma, but looking for thoughts.
DS almost 7, super sciency, not exactly sporty. Will always choose non-physical over physical. Last year we sent him to a wonderful camp, to get him outdoors all day, tons of physical activities, plus arts and crafts, legos etc. Its sorted by age - he had issues last year of leading with how smart he is only to learn that then people wanted him to perform like a trick pony. He LOVED the attention from the counselors, especially one very bright one who really talked to him where he is. And he even enjoyed the activities and he got so much stronger which is important. But I wouldnt say he wanted playdates with any of the kids when camp was over.
So options for the summer - send all summer to outdoor camp, send half to outdoor camp and half to robotics or gifted or sciency camp.
He's DYS and goes to a gifted accelerated school, but the science is nowhere near what he needs. He gets his science fix by what we do, his own reading, watching videos, going to talks. But not much with other kids.
The outdoor camp is best to undo his make like a rock tendancies but while he is surrounded everyday by bright kids, not on his level or focused on his area of interest.
Thoughts? WWYD?
