Camps with Reviews

Jan 2009
I'm looking for good ideas for a few summer camps/classes. My son would spend all
afternoon watching The Elegant Universe on npr.org on string theory, if I'd let
him.
He's passionately interested in math and physics and engineering. I'm just
wondering
what else is out there besides LHS and lego engineering at EC city daycamp. I wish
we
could do several half day classes, as the all day ones are usually out of our price
range
- and I don't really need him to be gone from 8-5!

Check out Cal's
Academic Talent and Development Program [ATDP],
run by their school of ed. My 2 kids had a great time last year.
You might be interested in ATDP, run by UC Berkeley. See

Google the ATDP (Academic Talent Development Program?)summer camp
offered by UC Berkeley and usually held near Richmond Annex or
Point Richmond (I think). My friends kids like this program and
there is a bunch of hands on opportunities for working with
science. I think a kid who likes mechanical stuff would find
this program interesting.
You do need to apply and perhaps get a teacher's signature. Look
for it online, and in the archives of this site.
