Camp Crestridge for Girls is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. We are a Christian camp with a recreational emphasis. We help our campers to grow physically and mentally through our skill classes, socially through interactions with the staff and their cabinmates, and spiritually through our cabin devotions and Morning Watch times. Our staff are strong Christian role models that are great examples for their campers. We are ACA accredited and members of Christian Camping International. Come and experience Christian camping at its finest!
Website:Fantastic Magic Camp
Coed Day CampThe Magic Camp in Austin, TX is often cited by children as the most fun they've had all summer. Each day, the campers have classes in magic, juggling, and puppetry. In addition, there is often a Bonus Class, in which campers can choose from a new skill (ventriloquism, clowning, balloon sculpture) or additional work on their favorite activity. The day ends with a show by a professional magician, juggler, clown, puppeteer, ventriloquist or other variety artist, but most often a MAGICIAN!
As one of our camp parents suggested, "It's the 'funnest' summer ever!"
It's Better Than Joining The Circus!

Summer Institute for the Gifted
Coed Camps with Residential & Day Camp Sessions
Gifted students ages 4-17 can participate in the renowned Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG) program. Hosted at pretigious colleges and universities, SIG has an excellent well-rounded program for gifted students as it combines academics, social, cultural and recreational opportunities. Our programs provide students with academic challenges designed to fit their abilities and interests. It also provides them with the opportunity to engage with other students who have similar abilities and interests. Because of our small classes, low teacher-student ratio, and an assistant in every class, we are able to individualize the program for each student. Students live and learn on campus for three weeks, leaving with the confidence gained by an experience that is all their own.
Because of our small classes, low teacher-student ratio, and teaching assistants, SIG individualizes the program for each student. Student safety, security and health are our top priority as SIG programs are well staffed for careful supervision. Our more than 25 years of experience have made us the leading organization in the field.
The Summer Institute for the Gifted is the program of the National Society for the Gifted (www.nsgt.org), a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) foundation.
