Academic Summer Camps Help Turn Around Poor Grades

First semester report cards are sending parents to the Internet in search of academic help for their students. One place many parents look is for academic summer camps.

Learning and life skills summer camps like SuperCamp see a number of enrollments come in at this time of year, as parents look to line up summer enrichment opportunities for their sons and daughters.

SuperCamp provides the answer to most parents' needs in that, in 10 days, high school and middle school students acquire both learning skills and life skills that help them on many levels in school, from new study and test-taking techniques and reading speed and reading comprehension skills, to communication, leadership and time management skills.

About three-quarters of students who attend SuperCamp report an increase in grades the following year, and even more say they gained confidence and improved their self-esteem. SuperCamp's teen summer camps are held at eight U.S. colleges throughout the summer. The middle school summer camps are held at six colleges.

Many parents enroll their high school students in SuperCamp for the college prep benefits the 10-day program provides. Students leave camp with new skills that prepare them for handling the academic and life challenges that college presents.
