From the Institute for Educational Advancement

IEA is a national, independent non-profit that matches highly gifted children with customized educational programs designed to serve their complex intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physical needs. One of our longest standing and strongest programs is our week-long, residential summer camp, Yunasa.

Yunasa, the Lakota word meaning balance, is a weeklong camp for highly gifted youth. This weeklong camp is a place where gifted and highly gifted youth feel a sense of acceptance and community they rarely find elsewhere. Yunasa uniquely focuses on teaching campers how to integrate every aspect of themselves and is devoted to reminding bright young people that they are more than just intellect. Yunasa campers are highly gifted individuals between the ages of 10 and 14 who are performing at the middle school level or above, are ready to explore the natural environment, gain new confidence and skills, meet new friends, and be challenged to achieve their personal best. In addition to the camp coordinators and camp counselors, Yunasa faculty includes IEA's Senior Fellows, nationally recognized experts in the field of gifted education.

For the first time in 2012, we are excited to offer Yunasa West in Sedalia, Colorado!  Yunasa West has the same Yunasa Spirit – now, with a distinctive Western Flair!  Click here for more information about Yunasa West on our webpage, and to download our application. Yunasa West will be held at YMCA Camp Shady Brook from June 10 to 17, 2012. The early application deadline is March 2, 2012 – apply by the early deadline and save $100 from tuition! The final deadline application deadline is April 2, 2012. Limited financial aid is available. Do let me know if you have any inquiries concerning this fun and life-changing summer camp experience!
