Define Cty Meaning

ultra-fun summer program for so-called "nerds" who aren't really nerd, but really asians at heart. Symbolizes teenage social bonding. Run and managed by Johns Hopkins University. An unforgettable experience for literally anyone who attends.

The best time of your life, filled with lanyards, frisbees, passionfruits and memories. Additionally filled with American Pies, Stairways to Heaven, Nightswimming, the list goes on...
The best three weeks of your life.
-sorry my last definition was very "focused"-

Three weeks that last forever and a split second at the same time. CTY is, and always will be, one of the most amazing experiences you can have at a summer camp. It leaves you with many great memories, and usually, friends that live hundreds of miles away.

Nerd-camp to those who have not participated. A summer program where a class occupies most of your time on paper, and relationships occupy most of your time in reality. Consists of several sites, of which LANCASTER and Carslile are the best, and St.Mary's and John Hopkins are the worst (ironic in that it is technically the John Hopkins Talent Search). An unforgatable, and occasionally life-changing experience for those who participated. At any rate, you never lose the friends or the memories.

CTY: The most amazing summer camp in the world- often referred to as Nerd-camp for anyone that hasn't been. You have the option to choose a site (Carlisle is the best!), and a class with a subject that interests you. You are ALWAYS having fun, I don't care what anyone else tells you! You make many many friends that get to know you and still choose love you anyways, have many new experiences, and you learn to feel sorry for all the losers that don't attend. :D This is an amazing camp that I've learned to love after 5 years of attending, and I will NEVER forget all the amazing memories- I love CTY and I love the passion fruit! ;)

1. As the New Yorker put it: "Nerd Camp."
2. A summer program in which students take in depth courses every week day for three weeks. In the middle are dances, activities, and much more.
3. A culture to itself consisting of Monty Python fans, Rocky Horror fans, Hitchiker's Guide fans, etc...

A summer consisting of two session, each three weeks over the summer im several locations (sites). Qualification requires eligible SAT scores or STB (Spatial Test Battery) scores. During these weeks on intense courses (IPMS, Greek, Philosophy of the Mind, etc) students attempt to reach the furthest they can with the opposite sex possible in three weeks (or six, which is rare for a couple to spend two sessions in the same site). It is not difficult for gay/lesbians to attempt these practices, especially if they're in the same hall (dorm), or even room. It is easy for RA's (Residential Assistants/Administrators) to reach home plate. My roomate's roomate has seen his RA bang a female RA in the room next to his. Dances are the perfect opportunity to attempt such a practice (behind the chairs of Carlisle) (during one of the 7 dances of Lancaster). If you have no acknowledgement of this definition, please ignore and move along.
