Academic Summer Camps Are a Good Investment

Academic summer camps are an investment in a student's future in these tough economic times

Academic summer camps such as SuperCamp, the world leader in learning and life skills training for high school and middle school students, are a good investment for families, as the summer programs help pave the way for a student's entrance into a good college and ultimately a rewarding career.

Kathy Shoemaker is a school counselor. She says, "I am a huge fan of SuperCamp. My son Mark went for four years. It had a huge impact on his life. He struggled through middle school even though he is quite bright. SuperCamp helped him understand himself as a learner. It also helped him see himself as successful and a leader."

Ms. Shoemaker goes on to say, "He just finished his first year of college and had his best grades ever. This kid, who struggled with organization, now effectively juggles school, work and several extracurricular activities. Indirectly, SuperCamp also played a part in me going back to school to become a counselor."

SuperCamp provides students with lifelong learning skills and real-world life skills in their 10-day residential camps. The teen summer camps for students entering grades 9 through 12 also focus on developing leadership and communication skills.

The summer program also offers middle school summer camps at all eight of its U.S. locations, all of which are held on prestigious college campuses, where students live in the dorms.

In both programs, students learn invaluable test-taking techniques and acquire skills on how to study more effectively, how to memorize information, how to organize and take notes, how to problem solve, and how to increase reading speed and comprehension.

Parents can enroll their students in SuperCamp now for summer 2009 and can benefit from early enrollment savings by enrolling by the end of December. More information is available at www.SuperCamp.com and by calling 800-285-3276.
