College Prep Begins with Unique College Bootcamp

Quantum U, an 8-day Summer Program For Incoming College Freshman, Helps Students Make The Transition From High School With New Learning And Life Skills

College prep for high school seniors is all about making a smooth transition into college and being fully aware of the new challenges that they are about to face. It’s a major adjustment, one that not all incoming college freshmen are ready to handle. That’s why Quantum U was born.

 

Quantum U is an academic summer camp for high school grads that focuses on practical life and learning skills that students require to succeed in college, including techniques to manage their time, energy, and finances, as well as extensive training in college-level communication, presentation, writing, and reading skills.

 

According to Kevin Davis, a Quantum U facilitator, the program is unique because, “Quantum U helps students transition from the attitude and skills of a youth to the attitude and skills of an adult. They learn to go from the mindset of ‘things happen to me’ to ‘I make things happen for me’.”

 

Quantum U is an outgrowth of SuperCamp, a learning and life skills summer camp for middle school and high school students that launched in 1982 and has graduated over 48,000 students worldwide. An important aspect of both SuperCamp and Quantum U is that students learn how to learn, meaning they discover their own learning style and they are taught several practical learning techniques in the areas of note-taking, studying and memorization.

 

Joe Chapon, Vice President of Quantum Learning Network, indicated that Quantum U is a smart investment for parents. “College is not just an extension of high school. Instead it represents a new paradigm in school, learning and autonomy,” said Mr. Chapon. “And given the cost of a college education, sending a son or daughter to Quantum U for eight days to give them a head start on college is a very wise decision.”

 

Mr. Chapon indicated that Quantum U will be held at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, July 14-21. Only 80 students from around the U.S. will be accepted for this program. Students who are accepted live on campus for the eight day duration of the program. The cost is $2,095 inclusive of tuition, room and board.
