SuperCamp is an academic summer camp program that has been helping students become more successful since 1982. Perhaps what is most amazing about this summer camp is the impact it can have on campers in just 10 days.
One study, which involved over 6,000 SuperCamp graduates, ages 12-22, and utilized both qualitative and quantitative data, reported the following results:
· 68% increase motivation
· 73% improve grades
· 81% increase confidence
· 84% increase self-esteem
· 98% continue to use skills learned at SuperCamp
SuperCamp co-founder Bobbi DePorter first studied accelerated learning methods with educational pioneer Dr. Georgi Lozanov. These methods are the basis of SuperCamp, which she co-founded with Eric Jensen and further developed with Joe Chapon. They felt that students are seldom taught learning skills, and that learning how to learn can make a big difference in their academic results as well as in their lives.
The first summer camp, with 64 students attending, was held in July 1982. Results were so impressive that the company grew quickly and the word spread. SuperCamp has now graduated over 57,000 students from all 50 states and over 80 countries. The company operates under the name Quantum Learning Network (QLN), which produces SuperCamp, QL Education programs, Quantum Business programs and a range of books and products about learning and life skills for parents, students, teachers, school administrators, business people and others.
SuperCamp is based on concepts that make learning fun and easy, along with positive peer support and carefully orchestrated environmental factors. It is one of the most comprehensive summer camp programs for helping students, including teens, pre-teens and college-age students, by providing lasting skills in such diverse areas as reading comprehension, study skills, writing skills, critical thinking and life skills, to name a few.
Thanks to the vision of Bobbi DePorter and the energy of thousands of talented staff members SuperCamp has grown over the years to become one of the most highly respected summer camp programs among parents and educators. From its small beginnings in 1982, SuperCamp will hold 23 programs in the U.S. this summer for approximately 2,300 students. Students from 6th grade to college and straight A to struggling will acquire learning and life skills that bring them greater self-confidence and motivation, and higher grades
SuperCamp programs are held on prestigious college campuses throughout the U.S.: Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, Loyola Marymount and San Jose State in California; Wake Forest University in North Carolina; Brown University in Rhode Island; University of South Florida in Florida; and Kent State in Ohio.
