Academic Summer Camp Gives Students An Attitude Adjustment

Summer Camp opens campers' eyes to a wide range of life skills that help them deal with school, family and friends more successfully.

SuperCamp’s academic summer camp imparts life skills as well as learning skills to students from age nine to 18. One of the life skills areas found to have the biggest effect on students when they return home and back to school has to do with attitude.

 

At the SuperCamp summer camps students are shown why it’s important to have a winning attitude and how to build one. Simply, students are told that it’s as easy as ABC – Attitude, Belief, and Curiosity. It’s possible to transform an attitude of ‘School is boring’ to ‘Learning is awesome!’

 

SuperCamp’s life skills instruction is geared to specific ages and grade levels. The program for the youngest group is Youth Forum, for boys and girls entering grades 4 and 5 in the fall. This program is offered at Cal State San Marcos in San Diego County July 11-17.

 

Junior Forum and Senior Forum programs for teens and pre-teens are 10 days in length. Junior Forum is for kids going into grades 6-8 and Senior Forum is for teens entering grades 9-12 in the fall. Both programs are offered at all eight U.S. colleges where SuperCamp is held.

 

SuperCamp runs one other program, Quantum U, a college boot camp for incoming college freshmen. Quantum U is held only at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. The life skills covered at Quantum U help these incoming collegians prepare for the new world of college with relevant time management, money management and life management subject matter.
