Camp Broadstone’s Summer Enrichment Programs for Academically Gifted Youth blend academic enrichment classes and exciting adventure programs. All programs are designed for academically gifted children who are currently in 4th-9th grade.
Camp Broadstone's Summer Enrichment Programs for Academically Gifted Youth provide children an opportunity to explore a blend of enrichment classes and adventure programs that are designed to encourage and foster intellectual, social, and physical growth. This type of programming offers campers a broad range of social participation, group responsibility and individual decision making opportunities. Broadstone offers three program options: two-week resident camp, one-week resident camp, and a week-long day camp. Older campers participate in a four day out-of-camp advanced program that blends adventure activities with historical, cultural, and environmental activities. Day campers participate in enrichment classes, adventure activities, and field trips to local sites and events that will enhance the week-long program. Residential programs are designed for current 4th - 9th grade students; Day Camp is designed for current 3rd-5th grade students who qualify as academically gifted under one of these categories: 1 ) Children who are performing at a level that is two years above their current grade level in math and/or language arts. This can be verified by achievement test scores in the 90th or higher percentile range in math or language arts. End of grade/course testing is acceptable. 2) IQ of 120 or higher on a standardized intelligence test. Camp Broadstone is proud to be part of Appalachian State University.
