Time to Start Thinking About Summer!
Sue Lein - a parent of gifted children, former Board Member of Connecticut Association for the Gifted and owner of Camp Emerson which caters to Gifted and Talented Children - is sharing her article that helps guide parents as they search for summer options for their gifted and talented children. The article points out important questions to ask potential camp directors and program leaders, as well as helps children really think about what’s important this summer.
