A college prep camp that helps students in high school develop the learning skills and life skills needed to succeed in college has announced that it will hold 26 camps across the United States in 2009.
SuperCamp has helped students in high school and middle school prepare for college for the past 27 years with its intensive 10-day residential academic summer camps held on college campuses. In 2009, SuperCamp will be held at eight colleges across the U.S., including Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, Wake Forest, Cornell, Colorado College, Stanford, the University of Washington, Cal State San Marcos and Claremont Colleges.
The Quantum Strategies learning skills taught at SuperCamp relate directly to college prep for high schoolers by arming students with learning, study and test-taking tools that help in high school courses and in preparing for and taking an ACT or SAT test.
Students learn innovative note-taking techniques that enable them to retain more from classroom lectures and personal research. The same techniques help when it comes time to study for a test because the student's notes are more organized and understandable.
College prep also includes developing effective study habits. Students in SuperCamp's Senior Forum camp are given a number of guidelines on how to study more effectively. These study skills can be put into effect immediately in high school as students prepare for college and they can be carried through into their college years.
Other learning skills covered in the Quantum Strategies instruction at SuperCamp that help with ACT prep, SAT prep and college prep, in general, include critical thinking, problem solving, creative writing, reading comprehension and test-taking tips. SuperCamp also creates many mini-success moments for each camper in order to build their self-esteem, motivation and confidence, which helps them in their college prep process with high school courses and with ACT and SAT tests.
