Bumping this one - I'm interested too
JoltinJoe - our ds hasn't attended either the CTY or SIG summer camps yet - he's interested but they are all a significant out-of-state trip for us, and ds isn't quite ready yet to commit to a residential camp yet - maybe next year lol!
He has, however, taken courses through CTY Online and totally soaks them up. They are quite pricey, and I wouldn't use CTY for computer programming, for instance, that he can take elsewhere for a lot less money, but we've found the science courses to be worth it (for him and for us) because the teachers he's had have been really wonderful, and CTY is the talent search group that our school district recognizes and refers students to.. hence we think it holds a (hopefully) reasonable chance that he may be able to use his CTY credit for accelerated placement in science once he's in high school.
