School Break Is Ideal Time To Plan Summer Break

Parents are using the holiday school break to plan ahead for next summer by enrolling in summer enrichment programs for their sons and daughters

This holiday break finds parents rushing to their computers to search out the best enrichment programs for their kids for next summer. The best summer programs fill up early, so parents looking at academic summer camps realize that this school break is the ideal time to lock up their preferred dates and locations.

SuperCamp is giving families an opportunity to enroll over the holidays one of four ways: online, by phone, fax, or mail. They also can obtain all the information they need at the company's summer programs website, including watching a summer camp video.

Families also can benefit from an Early Enrollment Savings offer that runs through the end of the year. And SuperCamp offers families payment options that include spreading payments out monthly through next May.

Historically, parents have found that if they wait until spring break to look into summer enrichment programs, it can be too late for their first choice in camps. So, this holiday break has become the popular time of the year to begin the process.

And, while SuperCamp offers programs throughout the summer at eight different U.S. colleges, the demand is so great that individual camps at locations such as Stanford, Cornell and Wake Forest fill up fast.

SuperCamp runs teen summer camps and middle school summer camps, as well as a college summer camp, Quantum U, for students in and entering college. SuperCamp also offers a Parent Weekend camp, a three-day program for parents of students in SuperCamp.

More information on all of these programs is available at the company's website and by calling 800-285-3276.
