Wesleyan Summer Gifted Program Wesleyan Summer Gifted Program is an academic and social camp for gifted students in grades 5 - 12. Students attend classes and participate in activities.

All campus facilities are open to them, including the swimming pool, tennis courts, and performing arts center. Guest speakers and musicians come, and we eat out in town at least twice and have a movie night. The last night of camp showcases the campers' talents in our annual talent show. Many of our campers come back year after year.

Proof that it was a magical camp this year: Bambi in my yard this morning. I did not get a glimpse of Thumper and I'm quite certain, based on the look on Bambi's face, that he is not yet twitterpated.

This page goes pretty quiet until we start ramping up for next year's camp around February or so.

The dates for next year are Jun 20 to Jul 3, 2027 (we always cheat the dads by starting on Father's Day). The registration deadline will be Jun 6, 2027, so keep us in your thoughts and tell all of your friends.

Thanks everyone for another wonderful year!

It was tick day in environmental science and Dr. B made an appearance. The summer research students were on hand to help out as well.

Finally, some pictures of the high-schoolers in Dr. Oldroyd's math and computer science classes.

Hot off the presses! Our group photo for this year. You can choose the picture in which your kid looks least (most?) dorky. We're at the "front gate" to the College at the intersection of Meade St. and College Ave. You can almost make out the West and Wesleyan on the sign. We have everybody present here -- all the kids, counselors, and faculty. It has been another 2 weeks of great memories.

The t-shirts are coming along nicely and at the end of the day, some water balloons. It is too hot for a cookout at the fire pit, so that means hot dogs and s'mores stuff for breakfast on Saturday (in addition to some fruit and milk and whatever else is left over).

We've decided to make a change to the time of the Talent show -- instead of 7 pm on Thu evening Jul 2nd, we will start at 7:30 pm. Since the cafeteria is serving dinner a little later this year (6-7 pm), the extra half-hour will ensure that the kids have plenty of time to eat and then get ready for the show.

We still plan to have the talent show in Hyma Auditorium -- room 112 on the 1st floor of the Christopher Hall of Science. If this room gets too hot and unbearable, we might be able to find another spot on campus. Stay tuned....

Yes, I will spam all of the parents' emails to ensure that everyone knows. At that time, I will share the zoom link for those who can't make it in person.

Back to classes....finding bugs under the microscope, preparing to tie-dye t-shirts, learning about circuits, working on their stories, and eating lunch. Lining up the bug in the camera through the microscope eyepiece was harder than I thought it would be.
