Summer Camp Filling Up Fast

Summer camp choices are diminishing as summer approaches and programs, such as SuperCamp's academic summer camp, start to fill up

Summer camp registration is in high gear at SuperCamp’s eight U.S. academic summer camps. Enrollments are ahead of last year’s record pace, according to SuperCamp president, Bobbi DePorter.

 

SuperCamp’s track record over 28 years of helping over 53,000 middle school and high school students improve their grades and increase their confidence and motivation is the biggest reason for the summer program’s success.

 

All parents who are looking into summer enrichment programs for their children this year should contact SuperCamp soon, as many of the summer camp’s sessions are close to capacity. Last year, over 200 kids remained on SuperCamp’s waiting list at the start of summer. Consequently, they were unable to attend the program and missed out on a great time and great learning.

 

“Parents and graduates are always telling us how the students’ grades have improved in the school year following them attending SuperCamp,” says Bobbi DePorter. “These comments are supported by independent studies, one of which showed that 73 percent of grads increased their grades.”

 

The study also reported that over 80 percent of SuperCamp graduates increased their confidence and self-esteem. Ms. DePorter attributes this number to the mini-successes that SuperCamp facilitators orchestrate throughout the 7-, 8- and 10-day camps for all campers.

 

Based on accelerated learning methods that Ms. DePorter first applied with entrepreneurs almost 30 years ago, Ms. DePorter’s company also trains teachers in these same learning techniques in schools throughout the United States. These school programs have positively impacted over two million students.

 

SuperCamp will be held at nine U.S. college campuses this summer, from Stanford University in the west to Brown in the east. Other locations include Cal State San Marcos, Colorado College, the University of Washington and Wake Forest University.

 

SuperCamp offers three grade-specific programs: the 10-day Junior Forum for students entering grades 6-8 in the fall, the 10-day Senior Forum for students entering grades 9-12, and Quantum U for incoming and current college students. The dynamic learning environment is designed to maximize long-term retention of the information provided.
