Summer Camp Helps Parents Get Ready For Summer

Parents who send their kids to SuperCamp's academic summer camps will find that they will have a fun and enriching summer

SuperCamp’s summer programs are a great way for parents to add fun and enrichment to their children’s lives during the months in which they are not in school. SuperCamp takes all of the elements that kids love about summer - fun, friends, activities, adventures, memories - and adds a learning element that helps them succeed both in the classroom and in their personal lives.  Now that summer is here, there are frantic parents everywhere trying to make last-minute plans for their children.  SuperCamp is a program that will be entertaining for the child as well as give parents peace of mind.

There are several different SuperCamp programs that cater specifically to the needs of different age groups. One of SuperCamp’s most innovative programs is its college summer camp specially-designed for college-bound students. Quantum U is an 8-day program that helps high school graduates make the transition into college by imparting practical life and learning skills that students require to succeed in college.

On the other end of the spectrum, there is SuperCamp’s seven-day Youth Forum summer camp, which is open to children entering grades 4 and 5 in the fall. Youth Forum is a place where kids have fun learning with other kids during games, with music and through other activities. Frequent team activities, such as ropes course games, teach participants how to use teamwork and trust in each other.

The Junior Forum summer camp is a program where kids entering grades 6 to 8 discover their individual learning styles and develop skills for dealing with a heavier academic schedule. They also learn how to participate in "real-life" activities that enable them to make responsible choices and win the support, understanding and guidance of teachers and parents. It's also a great bridge into the Senior Forum teen summer camps.

At SuperCamp’s Senior Forum teen summer camps for students entering grades 9-12, the mission is to help participants learn how to make the most of every moment, uncover their unique abilities, and develop greater confidence, while mastering strategies for academic success. The skills campers learn at SuperCamp will help ease school stress, build study skills, improve grades and increase test scores, including the SAT and ACT. The life skills courses show students ways to discover their strengths, pursue goals, make big decisions, solve problems and resolve conflicts.

SuperCamp even has a summer camp for parents called Parent Weekend, where parents of kids enrolled in SuperCamp can learn some of what their kids are discovering at camp, which enables parents to better support their children throughout the school year.
