<p>My daughter is a rising sixth grader. She is attending Idyllwild for visual art this summer. I am thinking about Interlochen for next summer. Any recommendations about other high quality visual art summer programs for middle schoolers?</p>
<p>I can't name other arts programs, but as someone who attended Interlochen this year (as a rising sophomore Creative Writing major), I can put in a very good word for the camp! My friends in the visual arts department, one whose first year was as a rising seventh grader (as your daughter will be next summer), have absolutely loved their experiences. Your daughter will be monitored in the "Intermediate Girls" Division but if she doesn't mind living in a cabin, there's lots of fun to be had. Feel free to PM me for more info, and sorry if I'm overly chipper--I just loved my experience at Interlochen!</p>
