Teen Summer Camps Teach Real-life Skills To Young Students

While all youth summer camps are about having fun, there’s one youth program where the fun is combined with learning. In fact, the mantra at SuperCamp’s 7-day Junior Forum held this summer at Lake Forest Academy, in Chicago, Illinois is “Learning is Fun.” Junior Forum is for students entering 6^th through  8^th grades in the fall.

At SuperCamp, kids learn practical skills in such areas as reading speed and comprehension, creative writing, memorization, note-taking, study techniques, test-taking, problem solving, and critical thinking. Another important part of SuperCamp involves interaction with others in the form of relationship building, teamwork, communication, expressing feelings, and conflict resolution. The kids live in the college dorms for the seven days, which further helps to develop their interpersonal skills.

“Junior Forum is a magical blend of games, music, celebration and challenging outdoor activities,” says Bobbi DePorter, who is President of Quantum Learning Network. “The children who attend have so much fun, make new friendships, and gain a love of learning that can last a lifetime.”

DePorter goes on to explain that the “secret ingredient” that makes SuperCamp so successful is the many “success moments” that the SuperCamp staff orchestrate during the session for each child. As a result, the children leave at the end of the seven days with a true feeling of accomplishment and confidence in their ability to succeed at anything they put their minds to.

Almost 30 years ago by Bobbi DePorter, a pioneer in accelerated learning, SuperCamp teaches the whole person and contains specific core elements that when used together, empower students to learn faster, retain the information better and enjoy the process. Evidence of the program’s success is found in a doctoral study of over 6,000 former SuperCamp participants, which showed that 73 percent of graduates improved their grades, 84 percent reported gaining self-esteem and 98 percent said they continued to use some or all of the skills they learned.

SuperCamp three separate programs: the 7-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 freshmen students. The dynamic learning environment is designed to maximize long-term retention of the information provided.
