Academic Summer Camp Creates Value Parents Can See

Academic summer camps are a popular choice among parents who are looking for more value this year on their summer camp investment. Parents want to see lasting value from the money spent on summer camp, so they have turned their focus from outdoor fun camps toward academic summer camps that deliver summer enrichment.

Among teen summer camps that provide enrichment, SuperCamp has quantifiable results that support the fact that there is long-term value to a family's SuperCamp investment. SuperCamp's residential summer camps are shown in a study with over 6,000 graduates to improve grades, confidence, self-esteem and motivation among the majority of students. In fact, 98 percent of the SuperCamp graduates surveyed indicated they were continuing to use some of the skills they acquired at SuperCamp.

There are several reasons for the results achieved by SuperCamp. One reason is that unlike most summer camp programs, SuperCamp has the students twenty-four hours a day for ten days in an orchestrated learning environment that uses a very specific design frame. A prime directive of SuperCamp is that they seek to get into the students' world and understand them, which builds trust and earns SuperCamp staff the right to teach. Throughout the ten days, they build on mini-successes, so by the end of the camp they are celebrating the students' successes.

Another reason is the SuperCamp staff. Facilitators, the most visible leaders at SuperCamp, are chosen from among the top professional teachers and trainers in the country. Hundreds of applicants go through the selection process and only a few are chosen to train with SuperCamp. Many of the facilitators have advanced degrees and, more importantly, all have a natural ability to engage every student and bring out their personal greatness. Facilitators receive 200-300 hours of on-site training in Quantum Learning methods before they direct the summer camp program.

A third reason for the results seen from SuperCamp is the on-going support provided throughout the year, in the form of access to facilitators by phone and online, as well as video training to reinforce and expand upon the learning at camp. Parents also receive insights into the learning so they are better equipped to help support their students.

These results explain why, even in this bad economy, SuperCamp programs are filling up rapidly. Parents can link to the SuperCamp website from www.QLN.com and they can call 800-285-3276 to speak with an enrollment specialist.
