One of the other programs I coordinate for the Centre for Education and Training is the Peel Summer Academy - a residential camp program for intellectually gifted youth. The Peel Summer Academy (PSA) has been running for the past 24 years, and I was really prilledged to inherit the responsibility of taking care of it.

The main PSA program takes place at the University of Toronto at Mississauga (UTM), and each camp session runs for two weeks. Each session we host right around 120 campers. While at UTM, students take part in a set of great, non-evaluative courses put on by teachers, artists, musicians, scientists, etc. After class, they jump right into camp games and activities in a traditional setting. It’s a wonderful program, though always a lot of work.

This past weekend was PSA’s annual Openhouse - an event where we exhibit the courses kids will take as well as general camp information. But since that’s done, I’m switching gears into Computer Camp mode, and 99% of my time will be spent on March’s camp sesssion. Three weeks to go!
