This summer was extremely successful for SuperCamp, the academic summer camp for kids and teens that
teaches learning and life skills to promote academic and personal success. Over
2,500 students graduated from one of the 32 camps that were held at eight
universities across the
Over the 10 days they spend at camp, students learn how to learn, which means they gain academic and life skills they can use at school in every subject at every grade level, as well as in everyday life. Through skits, stories, and games, students learn how to read faster, they actually remember what they study, and they don’t get nervous to get called on in class. This makes students feel successful, appreciated and excited about learning.
A positive learning environment is created for the campers by providing clean and organized areas to interact in, positive affirmations on the walls, examples of previous teachings within sight, and constant positive feedback. Within this type of environment, people are more likely to have confidence and trust. This assists in the ability to make new friends and try new things.
Now that SuperCamp has ended for the summer, campers will
take these valuable life
skills and positive learning environment home with them and will continue
to practice good habits, such as eliminating negative words, acknowledging
positive behaviors and providing growth opportunities. Camp facilitators stress
the importance of practicing these newly learned skills on a regular basis to
maintain and strengthen them in order to use them in their everyday lives.
