SPRINGFIELD, Mo., June 29, 2022 — Drury University’s longstanding summer camps for gifted students begin Monday, July 11 and run through Friday, July 15. Students have the option of living on Drury’s campus, July 10-17.
Drury has been a national leader in providing education and enrichment programs for academically gifted students more than 40 years.
The camps for older students – called Summerscape for middle schoolers and Drury Leadership Academy for high schoolers – allow students to take in-depth classes and go hands-on in areas that interest them, such as forensic science, engineering, philosophy, bio-ethics, world culture and much more.
“The camps not only give this particular group of students the kind of enrichment they crave, but also provide them with a sense of community with their peers,” said Mary Potthoff, director for Drury University’s Center for Gifted Education. “And that’s vitally important right now after some have spent the past few years in virtual or hybrid learning environments.”
