Great thread! My HS senior D attended a prestigious camp this summer and came back energized with her self confidence bubble slightly smaller but sense of horizon much clearer.

It was great that she was exposed to other kids with higher level of technique and/or musicality, some having started music while they were in diapers and some just couple years ago. Being a big fish in a smaller pond earlier, she did not have this visibility. Seeing all this gave her a better sense of the possibilities and also served as a reality check.

She is now more motivated than ever to put in the hours and do all that is needed to get to her conservatory of choice. In that sense I think the experience was priceless and couldn’t be better timed!
