The Most Incredible
Summer for Clever,
Quirky Kids.
321 live camps. 10 weeks of friends, confidence, and learning they actually care about. Teachers who are grown-up versions of them.
Every summer, the same
impossible puzzle.
"My favorite (virtual) summer camp for neurodivergent kids! I'm such a big fan of Sam Young's Young Scholars Academy. Sam designed his program to develop strengths, interests, and relationships and offer a safe haven for differently wired kids to connect around their asynchronies, quirks, and interests. If you're looking for summer programs for your kids, stop reading and go check out YSA."

A personal 1:1 call with Mr. Sam or Ms. Ann. We build your child's complete 10-week schedule together. You never have to stare at 321 options alone again.
Temple Grandin, Barry Prizant, Seth Perler, Emily Kircher-Morris, and 8 more world-class researchers on 2E education, EF tools, gifted anxiety, nutrition, and more.
Daily supervised social time Monday–Friday. Where your child finds their people — intellectual peers who match their intensity and actually get them.
DND was full last time. AI Exploration had a waitlist. Pass holders register 24 hours before general enrollment opens — first choice on every high-demand camp.
Five downloadable guides: summer structure for 2E kids, screen time, emotional regulation tools, gifted twice-exceptionality, and finding your child's learning edge.
The private community where "my child is exhausting and extraordinary" is met with immediate recognition — not blank stares.
We design the whole summer.
You just show up.
Bronze (3 camps/week), Silver (5 camps/week), or Gold (5 camps + 1:1 sessions + direct Sam access). Passes close May 15 — no regular-price version exists after that.
You'll get a confirmation email with a calendar link. On the call, Mr. Sam or Ms. Ann will personally design your child's 10-week schedule from all 321 camps — based on their interests, strengths, and personality. You leave with a complete summer plan.
By Monday at 9 AM PT, two weeks before each week begins, submit your camp selections. Change weekly. Swap anything that doesn't fit. If a camp isn't a match, let us know by end of Day 1 and we'll move your child that same week.
June 1 through August 14. Small groups of gifted peers. Teachers who understand how they're wired. Subjects they love at the depth they've never had in a regular classroom.
“When the class ended, I asked him how it went. He looked at me and said, ‘Mom, you finally did it. That was so much fun.’”
-Jessica, YSA Parent

"Try From the Inside"
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
You wouldn't buy a house without walking through it. You shouldn't commit to summer without the same right. We're not asking you to leap blind — we're asking you to try from the inside.
For À La Carte families: If your child doesn't love their camp by end of Day 1, we'll transfer them to another camp or give you full credit. No hassle, no guilt.
For Summer Pass families:
- Individual camps can be swapped freely — let us know by end of Day 1.
- If the pass isn't working after your first full week, we convert 100% of your pass value to YSA credit that never expires.
- That credit applies to any future camps, courses, or school year enrollment. Nothing is lost.
- After the first week, all sales are final. The pass cannot be downgraded to à la carte.
"Best case: your child has the most incredible summer of their life. Worst case: every dollar becomes credit toward our school year courses. Both protect your investment. The only thing guaranteed not to help is doing nothing."
Answers to what every
YSA parent wants to know.
Courses meet once per week for 11 weeks, going far deeper. They come with free Social Clubs and weekly progress report emails home. Both cover completely different content — no repetition if your child takes both.
- Strength-based only. We develop strengths, interests, and relationships — not deficits.
- ND mentors who've walked the walk. Every YSA teacher is a neurodivergent adult, many with 2E kids of their own in our programs.
- Content students actually care about. DND, AI, Philosophy, Cryptography, Songwriting.
- A real curated community — not a marketplace. A consistent school of vetted students and families.
