Academic Summer Camp Goes Trilingual

The two foreign-language Senior Forum teen camps will be held at Cal State San Marcos. Both camps will run July 8-17. Campers will live on campus for the entire ten-day program, including sleeping in dorms, eating in the school cafeteria.

"The Mandarin and Spanish teen summer camps are a great 10-day immersion opportunity for high school students who are taking one of these languages at a high level in school," said Bobbi DePorter, SuperCamp president. "At the same time, they will receive all of SuperCamp’s regular learning and life skills training, which will help them in all subject areas and in their day-to-day lives."

The English-speaking Senior Forum residential summer camp for incoming 9^th-12^th graders will take place at Cal State San Marcos July 22-31. In addition, SuperCamp will hold a learning and life skills camp in San Diego for students entering grades 6-8 in the fall. This camp is scheduled for July 10-19.

SuperCamp also runs a program called Quantum U for incoming and current college students. This eight-day program, held at Colorado College August 2-9, helps students with college-level learning skills such as creative writing, problem solving, studying and test taking. The program also addresses how students can manage their lives with the autonomy that comes with being a college student.

Since SuperCamp launched in 1982, over 50,000 students have graduated. Independent studies with over 6,000 graduates report that the majority of students raise their grades, confidence and motivation following SuperCamp. SuperCamp is held at seven colleges nationwide, including Stanford and Cornell.

Ms. DePorter also announced that SuperCamp is offering a special “Extra Credit” savings incentive for people who enroll a student into any SuperCamp program in March or April. More information on the Extra Credit savings and all of SuperCamp's summer programs is available at www.QLN.com and by calling 760-722-0072.
