My son was tested and is gifted and Im trying to find something interesting for him to do this summer or extra things that he can do. I just thought that it was a regular test(that he took in 2nd grade, he is now in the 4th going to the fifth) and that he was just taking advance course when I talked to he teacher about his behavior at she informed me that he was indeed gifted( he only missed one problem) and that is how gifted children act. Im now looking for classes/activities to keep him busy. can any one help? we live in madison,tn.

  1. I wouldn't lean on getting your son into a specialized gifted/talented camp. Find a very good camp that is well established and has a variety of activities, from horseback riding, swimming, nature hikes, as well as exploring wildlife. Having opportunities to 'be a regular kid' as well as absorb as much of the outdoors as possible over the summer is way better than attending a geeky computer camp or Smithsonian retreat.

    Google summer camps in your area and go visit them during their Open Houses (if possible) with your son. Then let him decide. :)


  2. If a camp claims to be for gifted children it's not. They just want $.
