At SuperCamp’s Parent Weekend, parents of kids 9-18 who are enrolled in one of the camp’s summer academic and life skills programs learn a lot about themselves and their children in an energizing, emotional and enlightening span of 48 hours.
The parents gain valuable insight into many of the same real-life skills their children learn in their 7-day and 10-day residential youth camps held on
Parents who have attended Parent Weekend feel the benefits will last a lifetime. “It is an absolute must, life-changing experience. You’ll walk away a changed person,” said Morgan Brawner who went to Parent Weekend at
Parent Weekend facilitators engage participants with the same dynamic, interactive Quantum Learning style of teaching that inspires the kids who attend SuperCamp. As Kimberly Spiro-Gaw, who attended Parent Weekend at Cornell in 2007, says, “Jump in and plan on getting wet. Enjoy the ride because it is mapping our children’s future as well as our own.”
Some of the specific skills parents learn about, which are taught in SuperCamp, are Living Above the Line – taking responsibility for one’s actions, the four-part apology, Active Listening, OTFD – a problem-solving technique, and the 8 Keys of Excellence. The program also goes into depth on individual learning styles, to help parents understand and effectively support their children’s academic endeavors.
In 2008, Parent Weekend is offered at Stanford, Cornell,
