The Ultimate Summer Camp Survival Guide

A Summer Camp Survival Guide is not an issue for the kids and teens 11 to 19 years old who attend one of SuperCamp’s learning and life skills academic summer camps. SuperCamp focuses on developing the whole student with academic and life skills and physical challenges, which helps make each camper mentally stronger and more focused, confident and motivated.

 

SuperCamp’s philosophy is very simple – learning can and must be fun. So, parents who are worried that they must prepare their kids to attend SuperCamp’s 7-day or 10-day residential camp need not be concerned. The Quantum Learning-trained staff is engaging, dynamic and entertaining. There is a 4:1 student to staff ratio. The days are full and action packed. When it’s time for lights out, the campers are ready for some sleep.

 

And when graduation day comes, parents who may have dropped off a somewhat reluctant camper a few days earlier are usually shocked to see a happy camper with a smiling face and an upbeat attitude who can’t wait to return to SuperCamp the following summer.

 

Students who graduate from SuperCamp refer to their time as “a great experience” and “the best 10 days of my life.” Their parents say things like “SuperCamp was the single best investment in our daughter’s life” and “it was worth every cent.”

 

So, in the case of sending a child to SuperCamp, it’s not about summer camp survival but, instead, it’s all about summer camp success. Studies of SuperCamp graduates show improvements in grades, confidence and motivation for the majority of students. Close to 100 percent of all graduates report that they continue using at least some of the learning and life skills acquired at camp long after graduation.

 

SuperCamp is held at nine U.S. colleges across the U.S. There are three age-specific programs: for students entering grades 6th -8th  we have Junior Forum, for students entering 9th -12th grades we have Senior Forum and for students entering college and college Freshmen we have Quantum U. Camps fill up very early, so parents looking at summer camp options for their kids are urged to visit SuperCamp’s website at SuperCamp.com now and call their toll-free number, 800-285-3276, to enroll in the camp of their choice.
