This summer my daughter is trying a 2 week summer intensive classical architecture camp at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. She is very excited, but nervous. I will follow up after camp.

What other camps have other families tried and loved (or not) for future artists, architects, and engineers? Please share in this thread. Thank you!
With 2 parents working in-office, we've been pretty reluctant to consider homeschooling. But as our kiddo approaches middle school, he's struggling more as opposed to getting better. It's getting to the point where we feel we must consider it, can see the benefits, but still can't quite figure out if it's feasible.

I know this post is older. Have you found something that works for you or are you still looking?
Awesome! I will follow up with you over the weekend. :)
