I was a Duke TIP kid. I went three different summers to the Duke Summer Studies program at the University of Kansas and absolutely loved it. If you want some more insight on the program and on how it affects its students long term feel free to email me at nstephaniemorales@gmail.com.

GoAgs92, how do you know for sure she wouldn't go? She might surprise you. I'm sure you know your daughter but this isn't really "camp" - she'd be in a college dorm and taking classes. Might be good for her to branch out and challenge herself in that way

She went to camp outside San Antonio and hated it, even after we got her best friend to go too.

She refused to go this year and said she cried every single day last year.

What happens when it is time to go to college?

Serious question, not trying to be a punk. I have much younger kids.

If her anxiety is still off the charts, may have to put her on anti anxiety meds which I'd prefer not to do.

or have her go to community college or UH and live at home? which I would also prefer not to do.
