Thanks very much for all of the responses!
I wasn't necessarily thinking something like a summer institute. My ds is mg (I think) and still young.
One year we spent a summer visiting relatives and he went to a camp done by a children's museum. It was way better for him than the summer spent at the local park and rec. Since we have moved there are a whole new set of options available. I am wondering if the new park and rec will be "interesting enough".(very affordable for his parents though.)
Kindergarten has been one boring worksheet after another. I would hate to see him languish through the summer only to be faced with an uninteresting year in 1st grade.
cym - very cool that your son got inspired.
Dottie- your "cheap" options sound great.
Nanros- yeah, no fun when the kiddos are miserable
gratified3- do you think your kids are happy with "plain camps" because the rest of the year they are challenged/getting their needs met?
I was thinking about Grinity's goldilocks syndrome (GS) and thinking that an engaging program over the summer could help keep GS from taking root. Otherwise I am afraid my ds' ZoPD will keep shrinking.
Well,
thanks again all for the feedback!
