SuperCamp, the learning and life skills teen summer camps that have graduated over 50,000 middle school and high school students since 1987 announces the end of summer school as we know it.
SuperCamp's academic summer camps are a perfect alternative to summer school for most students because SuperCamp provides students with a love of learning that stays with them through their academic careers and into adulthood. What summer school does that?
At its website, SuperCamp provides parents and students with twenty ways in which SuperCamp is not like summer camp. A sampling includes: (1) Summer school lasts a month or more. Our summer camp is 10 days long. (2) Summer school is held at your high school. Our summer camp is held on a college campus. (3) At summer school, you can fail. At our summer camp, you only succeed. (4) At summer school, you're miserable. At our summer camp, you have a great time.
Kidding aside, SuperCamp's residential summer camps, which are held at seven university campuses in the U.S., are fun and dynamic. The staff are engaging and funny. The learning is contagious. And the results are phenomenal - 73% of students increase their grades and over 80% report higher confidence and self-esteem.
Ten days and a lifetime of value versus a half a summer and no lasting value. The decision for parents and students thinking about summer school this year should be an easy one. More information on SuperCamp is available at the summer academic camp's website or by calling 800-285-3276.
