Our weekly Community Board provides a short list of non-Davidson opportunities that might benefit your Young Scholar family, such as gifted programs, engaging events, and great resources for bright families. Here are the latest opportunities in this week's edition of the Community Board. You are always welcome to suggest a program or highlight other resources as well. For Young Scholar or Davidson-specific events, check out our Upcoming Events.
Please note that the decision to participate in any programs or opportunities listed below is entirely up to you. The Davidson Institute neither encourages nor discourages you from taking part and has no control over any part of the process; we are only providing the information.

Mensa Gifted Youth Events & Gatherings
Mensa Gifted Youth events and gatherings around the world include day trips, weekend excursions and summer camps. There are even Mensa family camps at which younger children can be accompanied by their parents and siblings.
So, what kind of things do the children and young people do at these events and gatherings? From algebra to abseiling, painting to puzzle-solving, robotics to running, and barbecues to biology, participants have a wealth of opportunities to challenge themselves, get creative and, well, just have fun!
