Do you have any suggestions on improving problem solving skills? Especially developing the intution.

Take a look at this thread:

Math kid- What next for that top 0.1%?

Looking for some advice from experienced parents and students. My kid, 7th grader, has been in one of the gifted programs where the most acceleration is provided locally. After running out of middle school courses in math(this is the only subject acceleration provided), doing AOPS, joined college Math classes. Seems to be getting A grades easily. Also doing AMC 10’s and such (Mathcounts team is not strong) but missed the AIME 2 years in a row by 3-4 points. Any suggestions on the best summer programs or year-long programs that can help reach that 0.1% of kids who qualify USAJMO. I think the key piece missing is that peer group that will motivate and help reach the full potential. Hoping to find such programs or math circles but do not know which ones are good. We are not from one of the states like CA/NY/NJ so online would be the best bet. Any suggestions are appreciated.
