Summer Camp Enrollment in High Gear

Summer camp registration is in high gear at SuperCamp’s nine U.S. academic summer camps. Enrollments are ahead of last year’s record pace, according to SuperCamp president, Bobbi DePorter.

As Ms. DePorter pointed out this week, SuperCamp’s track record of almost 30 years of helping middle school and high school students improve their grades and increase their confidence and motivation is the biggest reason for the summer program’s success.

Ms. DePorter is encouraging all parents who are looking into summer enrichment programs for their children this year to contact SuperCamp soon, as many of the summer camp’s sessions are close to capacity. Last year, over 200 kids remained on SuperCamp’s waiting list at the start of summer. Consequently, they were unable to attend the program and missed out on a great time and great learning.

“Parents and graduates are always telling us how the students’ grades have improved in the school year following them attending SuperCamp,” says Ms. DePorter. “These comments are supported by independent studies, one of which showed that 73 percent of grads increased their grades.”

The study also reported that over 80 percent of SuperCamp graduates increased their confidence and self-esteem. Ms. DePorter attributes this number to the mini-successes that SuperCamp facilitators orchestrate throughout the 7-, 8- and 10-day camps for all campers.

Based on accelerated learning methods that Ms. DePorter first applied with entrepreneurs almost 35 years ago, SuperCamp is an intensive residential summer program that has graduated almost 55,000 students worldwide in its 29 years. In addition, DePorter’s company trains teachers in these same learning techniques in schools throughout the United States. These school programs have positively impacted over two million students.

SuperCamp will be held at nine U.S. college campuses this summer, from Stanford University in the west to Brown in the east. Other locations include, Loyola Marymount in the Los Angeles area, Cal State San Marcos in north San Diego County, Colorado College in Colorado Springs, the University of Washington in Seattle, Wake Forest University in North Carolina and Lake Forest Academy in Chicago.

SuperCamp offers three grade-specific 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, the 7-day and Quantum U for incoming and current college students. The dynamic learning environment is designed to maximize long-term retention of the information provided.
