Summer Residential Camp

Every summer, for over 40 years, GER2I has engaged gifted, creative, and talented students from across the country and around the world in residential camps designed to stimulate their imagination and expand their abilities. Fifth through twelfth grade students live in campus residence halls, take challenging courses, and participate in engaging recreational activities. GER2I offers three programs each summer. For more information, please visit the Summer Residential webpage.
