All workshops offered are fast-paced and rigorous, and involve challenging activities pitched at individual abilities rather than chronological age. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to step up to a challenge, to meet other children of like minds and to establish new friendships. The workshops are presented by leaders with a keen interest in gifted education—experts in their field—who design programs to stimulate the interests, abilities and curiosities of gifted children.
Workshops run between 10 am and 3 pm.
Registration is from 9 am each day.
Parents do not attend the workshops with the children as they are fully supervised.
Children bring their lunch with them and a hat and water bottle.
Registration costs:
Non-members - per child per day $77 each
Current financial Members - $66 each day

Please note: the reduced pricing for 2 children on the same day is for financial QAGTC Members. If you want to pay membership - Family at $66 - at the same time as the registration then you can register at the membership rate.
