I have taken two distance learning classes and have really enjoyed them. They stimulate deep and critical thinking.

From my experience, this summer program was fun, but academic content was lacking for me as a profoundly gifted student. While I was the youngest student in attendance, I did not really learn anything new. If you are a profoundly gifted student and want to go because it would be a fun camp then it is a good choice, but if you want to learn, then I would suggest looking at other summer programs.
