. . . connect, learn, refuel, have fun!
“Within minutes of arriving at the opening session, it was as if, at long last, he had
found ‘his people’. We stood to the side in amazement and joy . . . Our normally
very buttoned-down boy was talking a mile a minute, looking happier than
we had ever seen him in a group.” - Davidson Young Scholar Parent
Who Attends
Young Scholars are invited to attend a summertime get together called the Summit, where relationships are fostered between Young Scholars, their parents and the Davidson Family Consultant team.
During this experience, we offer special activities for the Young Scholars, parent discussion sessions facilitated by the DITD team, shared meals and down-time, visits to educational venues and interaction with dynamic speakers/presenters.
“I was almost speechless watching my YS make connections with peers. I cannot thank you enough for offering this opportunity for my daughter to be with other young people who are similar to her. According to her, the Summit has been the most life changing experience. She has never found it this easy to make friends . . . I can’t believe she made so many friends in 3 days.”
- Davidson Young Scholar Parent
“The Summits have provided our child with stimulating learning experiences - when that was severely lacking in his life - as well as a group of several friends who met because they share interests and passions. These friendships have remained intact over the miles and years, and the parents have formed close bonds as well.”

Informal Family Get-Togethers
Many Young Scholar families also plan informal get-togethers of various sizes that are not sponsored by the Institute.
