Space Limited at Academic Summer Camps this Year

Investing in an academic summer camp is always a big decision, especially this year with the economy doing so poorly. That's why one summer enrichment program is doing all it can to maximize the value for campers and parents.

SuperCamp, a leading pre-teen and teen summer camp, with over 50,000 graduates in it 27 years, has implemented a number of new elements to its camp and post-camp experience to enable students to get lasting benefits from the 10-day summer camp experience.

The summer program is maintaining its historical 5:1 camper to staff ratio, which includes one team leader for every 12 students, plus up to four senior facilitators per camp session to teach the learning and life skills. By doing so, each camper stays on point throughout each day.

The summer academic camp also has implemented a monthly e-newsletter just for parents. This communication will run throughout the year and it is designed to inform parents of ways they can support their son or daughter. SuperCamp also offers a Parent Weekend training that coincides with some of the kids' summer camps.

Another innovation is video follow-up from the camp's facilitators. These videos will be available to SuperCamp graduates and they will take what the campers learned during the summer to the next level in terms of integration into their lives and at school.

Parents are also gaining value by enrolling their student now in the form of Extra Credit Savings, which include a free teen success book written by SuperCamp president Bobbi DePorter, a lifetime freeze on SuperCamp tuition fees, incremental savings for enrolling a sibling or with a friend, and a high-value referral program.

The bottom line for parents and students is that SuperCamp is delivering more return on the financial investment, which makes the value of this program even greater than it is normally.
