Foster Their Curiosity

CTY gives curious kids countless ways to explore new subjects and develop skills that will help them be successful in school, college, and beyond. But don't take our word for it. Listen to what our students say:

This is my seventh year at CTY. You never learn the same thing twice. There are so many opportunities to learn different things and everything is very hands-on. They keep you busy and it's a lot of work, but also so much fun, and you really see how much you learn and grow over the course of three weeks.
