Deeply rooted in the serene surroundings of Buckhannon, lies the Wesleyan Summer Gifted Program – a treasure box of knowledge for amped-up and gifted adolescents. This remarkable two-week residential camp orbits around a nucleus of STEM focus, gifted mentoring, and career exploration. Drawing students to its homely dormitories, serving more than just a bed, it presents living, breathing classrooms pulsating with ideas, questions, and innovation.
The Wesleyan camp is not just a monotonous array of classes but a vibrant community, laced with ambitious students sharing similar capabilities and zeal. The seasoned professors guiding this merry band don't just mentor but motivate, sparking creativity and fostering an arena of open-minded discussions. This intellectual retreat, peppered with activities and a talent show, gently navigates the complexity of balancing academia and recreation, feeding both the brain and soul. Picture this. A sporty afternoon at the basketball court, a friendly lap race in the indoor swimming pool, competitive edge unrolling at the racquetball court, the open-air track beckoning the runners, or simply the rhythmic hits at the tennis courts.
All this invigorating bustle surrounded by the academic pursuit, dresses the Wesleyan campus in a symphony of balanced growth. With noticeably small student-teacher ratios, the camp proves to be a hotbed for personal attention and nurturing, carefully mentoring each student on their chosen path. Consequently, it's no wonder that Wesleyan keeps pulling its enchanted students back summer after summer. With each return, they find a familiar place ripe with new learnings, ripe for exploration - a perfect blend of the old and new, awaiting them at their cherished summer home.
