Summer Camp Program Draws Students From All 50 States

SuperCamp's popular youth and teen summer camps are attracting students from throughout the U.S. and 31 countries around the world, as news of its incredible results spreads

SuperCamp academic summer camps announced today that it has enrolled students from all 50 states and from 31 foreign countries for its 2008 summer enrichment programs. This marks the second year in a row that every state in the United States will be represented at SuperCamp’s eight summer camp locations.

 

“This broad reach reflects how SuperCamp provides students with learning and life skills that transcend geographic boundaries and state academic curricula,” said Bobbi DePorter, president of SuperCamp. “Students gain motivational, communication and broadbased academic skills that apply to all school subjects and help them in their lives outside of school.”

 

SuperCamp’s youth and teen summer camps have been helping students in grades 4 through college since 1982. Earlier this year, the summer camp program enrolled its 50,000th student and expects to exceed 3,000 enrollments for its U.S. camps this summer alone.

 

In addition to its growing U.S. presence, SuperCamp is expanding rapidly around the world. In 2008, over 1,700 students will enroll in SuperCamp’s international programs throughout Asia, Latin America and Europe.

 

Given the summer camp’s growing popularity, remaining availability for this summer is limited. Ms. DePorter is urging parents to act now if they want their son or daughter to get into a SuperCamp program. “Last year we had over 200 kids on a waiting list unable to get into SuperCamp because the parents waited a little too long to decide on a date and location,” said DePorter.

 

The 10-day camps start as early as June 27 and as late as August 14, with the majority starting throughout July and early August. SuperCamp also runs a 7-day Youth Forum program in San Diego for students entering grades 4 and 5 in the fall and a Quantum U program for incoming college freshmen, which is held at Colorado College in Colorado Springs.

 

Program costs range from $1,895 to $2,895 depending upon the particular program and location. The cost includes tuition, room and board.
