This study investigated the expectations of gifted students for a science enrichment summer program held in Finland in 2011 and how these expectations were met. The students' expectations were studied by analyzing the answers of 1,935 camp applicants. Altogether, 4,348 expectations were identified through content analysis. The data showed that the majority of the students (90%) expressed academic expectations followed by social (68%) and ethical (38%) expectations. This research also analyzed how well five specialists who taught at the camp were able to meet student expectations by implementing a given curriculum. The results indicated that the academic expectations were met in various pedagogical ways, while the social expectations were also realized; however, some of the teachers encountered challenges in realizing the ethical expectations. The implications of this study are discussed in order to benefit curriculum design and teaching in enrichment summer courses for the gifted.
