Summer Camp Develops Extraordinary Students

At a unique 10-day academic summer camp called SuperCamp, more than 50,000 students worldwide have learned speed-reading and reading comprehension, along with dozens of other accelerated learning skills in the past 26 years.

Beginning at the end of June, at eight college campuses across the country, thousands more students will be learning how to wow their friends, families, and teachers by reading a book in half an hour, and actually understanding it.

These students will learn how to cover two, maybe three pages in the time it has taken you to read this far.  Each time you have finished a paragraph, they will have finished a page.  And if they were tested on the material, they would probably score 80 percent comprehension or higher.

At SuperCamp, students of all skills and abilities learn to apply themselves to learning and develop a new interest in school, regardless of what’s on their report card.  “SuperCamp,” said Mrs. Kaye of Del Mar, “changed my daughter from getting below-average grades to honor role in one semester.  She can apply herself much more easily and is far more confident.” 

Results of a study involving over 6,000 SuperCamp graduates, ages 12 to 22, show that 81 percent of the graduates felt more confident and 98 percent continued to use the skills they had learned at camp, while  73 percent of students raised their grades and 84 percent found an increase in self-esteem.

There are several different SuperCamp programs that cater specifically to the needs of different age groups: Youth Forum for children entering grades 4 and 5 in the fall, Junior Forum for students going into grades 6 through 8, Senior Forum for 9^th through 12^th graders, and Quantum U, a college summer camp specially-designed for college-bound students.

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.
