American Dance Training Camp
Girls' Camp with Residential & Day Camp Sessions
HEY GIRLS - THERE ARE ENDLESS REASONS TO DANCE - HERE ARE JUST A FEW:
1. Feel Great: Studies show that dance can increase self-confidence and help build social skills.
2. Find Your Life's Rhythm: Our bodies and our lives are ordered by rhythms great and small, so moving in rhythms feels great.
3. Reduce Your Stress: Movement plus rhythm creates an anxiety-reducing, meditative state.
4. Boost Your Immune System: Rhythmic movement is so beneficial that dancers have healthier immune systems than equally fit athletes.
5. Zap Your Boredom: Dance is an endlessly varied form of physical activity with strong mind-body & social components; if you like it, you're likely to stick with it.

"This was the first year that my sons were enrolled in TechKnowHow. Both camps were fantastic and far exceeded my expectations! The instructors were knowledgeable and helpful. I loved that each child had his own computer/LEGOs/etc. to use. Both my kids told me that they want to do more TechKnowHow camps next summer! Thank you for the wonderful camp experience!" - Parent
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.
