@canuckgirl, I agree with what @Dandemom said. YYGS kids work really hard for two weeks. We felt it was worth the fees; I believe some FA is available. It ultimately changed my S’s choice of where to apply for college. He had been having a great summer working in a plasma physics lab, and was wondering if taking time off from that would be worth it (at the time, YYGS had no STEM project). He was very glad that he did.

I am sure that there are pre-college programs that are more affordable and that might be a better fit, but I don’t want to take anything away from YYGS – in S’s case, it was well worth it.
