Welcome to the Gifted Institute Registration site!

Covid Update (as of March 22, 2021)
Thank you for your interest in the Carroll College Gifted Institute. Unfortunately, we have just learned that Carroll College conferencing will not be hosting overnight residential camps this summer. This means that we are forced to cancel the Gifted Institute for a second year in a row. We understand that the Gifted Institute is sorely needed for many children after the year we have endured, and this is likely to be a great disappointment.

Attention 2021 First-time Campers
If you applied to the 2020 or 2021 Gifted Instuitue camp (cancelled due to COVID-19), we have retained your camper recommendations on file should you choose to attend the Gifted Institute in 2022.

If this is your first time registering a camper, you will need to create an account.

First-time campers also need two recommendation forms completed by school personnel. You will be notified of your provisional acceptance pending two positive recommendations*

*If you are new to the Gifted Institute, you are required to provide two online recommendation forms completed by school personnel. Previous Institute participants need not obtain recommendations. You may send the online link (https://gifted.carroll.edu/gifted-institute-recommendation) to the teachers you request. All recommendations are due by June 1st to complete your registration.

Even if we do not receive both recommendations until after the registration opens, you should still register for the Gifted Institute and reserve your spot. We will hold your spot pending full acceptance until June 1st. If we do not receive the recommendations by June 1st, your classes will not be reserved, and you will be assigned classes based on availability once we do receive the recommendations.

Covid update

There remains continued uncertainty due to the pandemic as we prepare for the 36^th year of the Carroll College Gifted Institute. Several factors remain out of our control, including vaccination availability and safety guidelines from the county health department and Carroll College. At this time, here is what we do know:

Registration opens Monday, March 8 at 6:00 pm.
The schedule and structure of the camp remains the same as previous years.
If required by Carroll College or the county health department, masks may be required when social distancing is not possible.
If required by Carroll College or the county health department, class capacity may be limited in order to maintain social distancing. Carroll College is very accustomed to this as it has been able to provide in-person teaching throughout the pandemic.

The current “Phase 2” restrictions that are in place by the county health department and Carroll College are not feasible for the structure and size of the Gifted Institute. If it appears that we will be in “Phase 2” when the camp is scheduled, then we will be forced to cancel. This decision will be made by May 15.

Even if restrictions are lifted enough to allow for the Gifted Institute to happen, there may be necessary safety protocols in place. These may include, but are not limited to:

Changes to the drop-off & pick-up procedures to prevent “bottle-necking” of large groups.
Staggered meal times, with grab & go options rather than buffet-style.
Activities and classes that maintain social distancing.

The Gifted Institute will provide updates on our website and through email. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
