STARS, REACH, and THINK FAQs

Looking for STARS, REACH, or THINK?

How do I apply for STARS, REACH, or THINK?

Davidson Summer Programs has been reimagined to allow us to best serve the profoundly gifted population! As we look to our community and the demand (and limited options) for summer programs for younger gifted students, we've made the difficult decision to close the chapter on THINK Summer Institute in order to expand the availability of opportunities we can offer for our Young Scholars ages 8-13. Beginning in 2025, Davidson Summer Programs will host multiple residential camp sessions designed exclusively for Davidson Young Scholars.
