A Summer Academic Camp That Takes Learning Higher

Not all academic summer camps pick up where school leaves off, but parents who want to get their money's worth this year should look at summer academic camps that provide learning skills and strategies that students don't get at school.

If a summer program is simply regurgitating school curriculum, then parents are better off spending less and putting their student in summer school. On the other hand, if the objective is to help a student acquire new learning skills, then an academic summer program such as SuperCamp is the right choice because it delivers long-term value on the summer investment.

SuperCamp's pre-teen and teen academic camps not only provide students with skills that improve everything from reading effectiveness to test-taking, they introduce important age-appropriate life skills to the campers.

A part of the life skills curriculum at SuperCamp includes the 8 Keys of Excellence, a character development program that helps students learn about taking responsibility for their own future and actions, as well as the importance of setting goals and committing to achieving them.

SuperCamp also provides students and their parents with year-round follow-up to help support retention of the newly-acquired skills. Follow-up takes many forms and includes phone access to facilitators and video reinforcement of the summer learning.

This level of training and the on-going support are two reasons why SuperCamp has been such a popular choice among parents for 28 years. In fact, parents who attended SuperCamp in the 1980's and 1990's are now sending their children.
