The Wesleyan Summer Gifted Program is the only summer camp for the gifted in West Virginia and is the most affordable camp of its kind in the country. Founded by a college professor to serve his own gifted sons, the program has been extant since 1983. Advanced STEM classes + history and creative writing are taught by college professors. Students live in dorms with students separated by sex except for lounge space which is communal. Each floor has a same-sex counselor and there is one supervisory counselor. Admin assistant and director both spend time in the dorms with students and provide oversight. Evenings are for activities, downtime, relaxation, homework, music practice, and socializing. Lights out at 11pm. There is a reading requirement for grades 5/6 - Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. More info can be gained from our website or by calling us at 304-473-8330.
