Cutting edge courses for the advanced student.

Campers can choose between two beautiful downtown campuses for the Gifted and Talented Center camp that they wish to attend (each campus offers a different program): TeenCollege at Queens University of Charlotte, or at TeenCollege at Saint Mary's School in Raleigh. Day and overnight campers are accommodated at both locations. A new camp this year is Leadership Launchpad, a camp for rising grades 10-12 with a serious interest in exploring careers. 

Eligibility requirements vary by course: please check the web site. Additional day camps for younger ages are available in the Raleigh and Triangle areas of North Carolina.  

This is our twenty first year catering to advanced learners at the Gifted and Talented Development Center and the mark of our great success is that campers will meet counselors and teachers that are alums of the program.
