Returning to MathPath for Multiple Years

1. We are wondering what you might advise next summer for Robert [not his real name]. He currently insists on returning for a 3rd year to MathPath--you do too good of a job! Robert says he and all his friends at MathPath are planning to return next year. Mathematically, we question how wise this would be for him. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.: A. (from the Academic Director) I've generally been of the opinion that 2 years at any one camp is enough, but the occasional kids who have attended MathPath for 3 all tell me they have been very happy doing so. Academically, it will be hard to avoid repetitions in the 3rd year, but they say they are still learning and definitely still having fun. (It's easy to avoid repetitions in breakouts when one returns for a 2nd year.)
Robert with be 13 next summer, right? In which case, admission to high school camps will be problematic; his application has to be very strong. But he could take the qualifying test for one or more of them and see if he gets admitted. In the meantime I imagine we would once again readmit him without asking him to take the new qualifying test. He could pay early (we are continuing the reduced fee policy for early payment) and then, if he gets in elsewhere, withdraw with only a $100 penalty. Indeed, we had one student do exactly that this year; when she got into Mathcamp, she went there instead.
