Summer Academic Program Covers Learning and Life Skills

A summer academic program operated by Quantum Learning Network and held at eight U.S. colleges includes instruction in both academic skills and life skills for students in grades 4 through 12.

The program is a series of academic summer camps called SuperCamp, which develops students’ confidence, self-esteem and motivation as well as their learning skills. As a result of dealing with the whole individual, the summer camp has shown dramatic results at increasing GPA’s among its graduates.

“Parents and graduates are always telling us how the students’ grades have improved in the school year following them attending SuperCamp,” says Bobbi DePorter, Quantum Learning Network president and co-founder of SuperCamp. “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 30 years ago, SuperCamp is an intensive residential summer program that has graduated over 48,000 students worldwide in its 26 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 eight U.S. college campuses this summer, from Stanford University in the west to Cornell in the east. Other locations include, Pitzer College (one of The Claremont Colleges 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 and Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.

SuperCamp offers four grade-specific programs: the 10-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 Youth Forum for kids entering grades 4-5 and Quantum U for incoming college students. The dynamic learning environment is designed to maximize long-term retention of the information provided.
