Great Books Summer Camp

July 2014

Can anybody offer feedback on the Great Books Summer Program? (Literature-focused summer camp for Middle and High school kids, takes place on college campuses: Stanford, Amherst, Oxford.) Thinking it might be right up my bookloving daughter's alley for next year but haven't actually talked to anybody who has sent their kid there. Thanks! mom of bookworm

My daughter spent two weeks at Great Books Summer Camp, Stanford both last year and this year. She absolutely loves it. It is her favorite camp, maybe even her favorite place. She loves the lectures, the discussions, and meeting people from all over the world who share her interests. Many kids go back year after year, but also welcome newcomers. My daughter started between 8th and 9th grades. Karen
