There are few schools for the gifted, but there are many camp and supplemental education programs. GCCs and teachers of the gifted have information on local programs. The state Department of Education website may list programs in your state. To learn about other programs, start with the Hoagies’ website, www.hoagiesgifted.com. Additional information is available in the “Gifted Children” section of the AML website, www.us.mensa.org., and at the NAGC website, www.nagc.org. Camps and schools which advertise themselves as being for the “above average” student will have some gifted children in attendance, but they are not camps for the gifted. Q. Will the Annual Gathering (AG) have activities for Young Mensans? A. Yes! The 2009 AG will be in Pittsburgh, PA. Kid’s Trek 2009 will be conducted during the AG on July 2, 3 and 4, featuring special programs and thought-provoking fair for children ages 5-12. Teen SIG promises fun for the older Young Mensans.
