Supporting Talent Development among Low-Income, High-Ability Students: Camp Launch
Gifted Child Today, v48 n1 p48-56 2025
The Center for Gifted Education (Center) at William & Mary has provided diverse enrichment programs for high-ability students since 1988. With an aspiration to serve financially disadvantaged students, the Center developed and hosted a summer residential enrichment program in STEM areas. Camp Launch, for low-income, high-ability middle school students started in 2012. The program expanded to serve up to 10th-grade students. Follow-up surveys and interviews of alumni provide evidence of the program's impact on their academic and career planning.
