OWL Camp 2026 – A Summer Experience for Gifted Learners
Ohio Wesleyan University’s OWL Camp is a summer program designed specifically for gifted and talented students in grades 5–8. Campers choose four hands-on classes in areas like science, math, technology, creative arts, and problem-solving, and they also enjoy fun activities such as games, crafts, movie nights, and a camp dance.
OWL offers both overnight sessions (for current 6th–8th graders) and day camp sessions (for current 5th–6th graders). It’s a great chance for students to meet new friends, explore their interests, stretch their thinking, and experience a small taste of college life in a supportive, engaging environment.
