Summer Games:
With summer approaching, the NAGC has compiled a list of games and activities to help keep your kiddos engaged and entertained. The categories are separated by age, but regardless of categories, you can decide what best suites your child!

Summer Activities, Camps, and Programs
Finding the right summer activity or camp can be a little overwhelming for parents of a high ability child. The NAGC says that summer activities "...can be determined by you and your child, but it is known that children who participate in summer activities, experience learning gains and those who do not, lose some learning gains from the past school year." The link below has tips on selecting ones that best suit a high ability child.
