PG Retreat is an annual gathering organized by the families of
profoundly gifted children. PG Retreat
brings our children together for shared connections and community. Although every child is unique and beautiful in his
or her own way, profoundly gifted children often have a difficult time finding true peers within their day-to-day
communities. Our gathering provides an opportunity to meet, learn, socialize, and yes, even play with other children
who are developmentally advanced.
The mission of PG Retreat is to enrich the social-emotional
lives of profoundly gifted children and their families. We conduct gatherings of these families and the professionals who serve
them, providing learning opportunities and fostering lasting friendships among true peers.
2010 keynote speakers were: Dale Stuart,
P. Susan Jackson, and Storysmith® Susan Marie Frontczak (as Mary Shelley!)
PG Retreat provides outlets for physical, intellectual, social and emotional,
and spiritual expression and is not focused solely on academic enrichment.
