Thank you for a lovely summer! 🌞

Our Yunasa Summer Camps would not be the same without each and every one of our campers, Counselors, or Fellows. You are the ones who make Yunasa a special community for gifted youth. Thank you for spending your summer with us and we hope to see you again next summer.

What our Academy students say when they don't think we're listening. 👂️

Gifted kids can be opinionated and passionate. When they're in an environment where they are thrive, they feel safe enough to share their true thoughts.

Here are just a few of the things we've overheard our students say in and outside the classroom this summer.

What do you expect from a gifted summer camp? 🏕️

It's a summer camp, so it should be all fun and games. But it's gifted, so it should involve lots of learning. Which is it?

At Yunasa, it's all about balance, encouraging growth and support of gifted campers intellectually, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Yunasa provides a combination of traditional camp activities and special workshops designed specifically to help gifted children learn more about themselves as they develop greater awareness and self-acceptance.

This could mean trying a calming activity before taking a risk and going rappelling, learning to work together while paddling a canoe with your new best friend, or pushing yourself to perform a silly skit at the Variety Show surrounded by a supportive community.

You might expect one thing, but you'll leave at the end of camp with so much more.
