The Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth (also known simply as MITY, pronounced mighty) is an institute that offers extracurricular options for gifted and talented students. It is based out of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Founded in 1967, MITY has become relatively large, with three different programs for primary education and secondary education students. The three programs, YES (Your Extraordinary Saturday), ExplorSchool, and Expand Your Mind, each deal with a separate age group of students, but often share staff members and class styles. YES deals with students in grades 1-4, and takes place on Saturdays during the normal American school year. Explorschool is offered for students in grades 4-6, and takes place during the summer, with classes being held Monday through Friday over a two week period. Expand Your Mind (which many veteran students refer to simply as MITY, due to its popularity) is offered for students in grades 7-12, and takes place during the summer with classes held Monday through Friday over a similar two-week period.[1]

This camp includes a "Rec Time", run by "Mr Rec". The activities include squirrel-watching, three person water balloon slingshot, Trivial Pursuit tournament, Duct Tape Stuff day, urban Bocce ball, beading, and charades (pronounced char-ODDZ).
