Apr 27 | SMU Summer Camp for Teens
During my research for camp programs, I found that Southern Methodist University (SMU) has 2 programs that will keep your teens having FUN over the summer and by the way they learn something along the way too.
Keep your teens engaged in learning something new, something fun and remarkable things will happen!
Girls Talk Back! Only for girls that will be going into 11th grade next school year.
Talented and Gifted (TAG) students that will be entering 7th 8th or 9th grade

A careful reading of the blog posts on this page and on the pages of many of our owners will reveal that we, as a group are deeply concerned with the education trends in this country and how, as a culture, we seem determined to teach the creativity, individualism, and genius out of our children. This animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA's Benjamin Franklin award who brilliantly touches on these issues. For more information on Sir Ken's work and to learn about his current best selling books, The Element and Out of Our Minds, you can visit his site here.
