We're in IA and drove our DD13 to PA for a three week summer camp through Johns Hopkins University - Center for Talented Youth (JHU-CTY, or just CTY). She did the intensive studies program where most of the kids are gifted and up. Our daughter had a blast. She thought she'd just enjoy the academics, but she really loved meeting and interacting with other kids like her.

Google "CTY" and it'll be at the top of the results. They hold two 3 week sessions each summer, and offer various classes - many in the humanities. The 2015 catalog is not available yet, but you can get a sense of what they offer from looking at the 2014 catalog.

I'm sure there are other great programs out there, but I'd highly recommend looking into CTY.
