Two thumbs up for Concordia (I’d give it three if I had them). S has been going there for 10 years. Went from being a two week camper to a counselor. The campers are well supervised, the actives are varied and encourage a wide variety of interests.
Over the course of the years S has had the opportunity to participate in a mock UN mediated by the under secretary to the UN general counsel. He’s had dinner with delegates from the DC German embassy to discuss integration of the language into US STEM programs. He’s has numerous professors from ‘name brand’ East Coast schools in his contact list who respond to questions and will write letters of recommendation. And he was able to help develop on of the newest programs offered by his village.
All this while having a blast.
