As one of the leading academic summer camps in the world, SuperCamp has a long list of success stories, including a doctoral thesis that studied over 6,000 SuperCamp graduates and found that 73 percent of them improved their grades the following year at school. Over 80 percent of these graduates also reported an increase in confidence and motivation.
These results trace to a number of factors about SuperCamp's summer program that make the learning environment uniquely effective. It begins with SuperCamp’s proprietary Quantum Learning method of teaching and learning developed over 25 years ago by SuperCamp co-founder and president, Bobbi DePorter. At the heart of this method is that students learn how to learn, which means the retention of what they learn at SuperCamp is long-term.
There are a number of other contributing factors to SuperCamp’s success. It provides peer support that reinforces efforts, achievements and positive attitudes. It helps improve communication, listening and peer relationship skills. It uncovers and teaches to individual learning styles. It encourages goal setting and taking responsibility for one's actions. It enhances the capability for problem-solving and creative thinking. And it ensures a challenging, safe program that is intellectual, physical, creative and fun.
Beyond the success seen in the numbers reported in the doctoral thesis, there are the personal stories, such as Jonathan. Jonathan attended two SuperCamp youth programs and one Quantum U program. Jonathan had low grades and low motivation before attending SuperCamp. Jonathan improved through high school and went on to attend university where he achieved a 4.0 GPA. He credits his academic success and happiness to Quantum Learning's reading, critical thinking and study skills. He says that he never felt more fulfilled in his life.
