Top Academic Camp Returning to Brown University

SuperCamp, a unique summer enrichment program that inspires excellence in middle school, high school and college students with its combination of learning skills and life skills that help raise students’ grades, confidence and motivation.

“SuperCamp is fun and engaging,” says Jim Hartley, marketing manager. “The kids love SuperCamp – the non-stop activities, the staff and the new friends they make – which is one of the reasons why our program is so effective.

“The campers are busy from sun-up to lights-out. We weave life skills training throughout the entire curriculum, while they’re gaining new learning skills in such areas as creative writing, reading comprehension and speed, problem solving, study and test-taking techniques, and critical thinking.”

At SuperCamp, campers learn about the 8 Keys of Excellence, eight character traits that help them in school and in their personal lives. The 8 Keys are Integrity, Failure Leads to Success, Speak with Good Purpose, This is It (make the most of every moment), Commitment, Ownership, Flexibility and Balance.

SuperCamp is holding three sessions this summer at Brown University in Providence: Junior Forum, a seven-day camp for students entering sixth through eighth grades will take place August 1-7; and Senior Forum, a 10-day camp for students entering ninth through 12th grades will have two dates – July 8-17 and July 20-29.

“Campers live on campus for the duration of the program, which adds to their enjoyment and the overall experience,” Hartley says.

There’s even a 3-day parent camp, July 15-17, which coincides with the final three days of the first Senior Forum. This camp helps parents support their SuperCamp grads year-round by giving them first-hand exposure to many of the learning and life skills taught in SuperCamp.
