Academic summer camps are in high demand as budget cuts within schools are leaving students without the skills needed to excel in high school and get into the best colleges.

SuperCamp is a multi-sensory experience using colors, music, and other sounds, as well as interactive feedback to stimulate the learning process and long-term retention. It is based on accelerated learning principles that Ms. DePorter first studied 30 years ago.
Campers from grades 4 through first-year college students learn pertinent academic skills in the areas of critical thinking, creative writing, reading comprehension, reading speed, study and test-taking techniques and much more. Interspersed among the learning skills is instruction in the life skills area. Students gain insight into communication, team building, motivation, trust, leadership and other important life skills that help them in school and in relationships with friends and family.
