Summer Enrichment Program Teaches 21st-Century Skills to Kids and Teens at Drake University
2008 was the first year that SuperCamp held its Midwest summer camps at Drake, and the response was so outstanding that the company has committed to a repeat performance in 2009. Drake will host two SuperCamp programs, Junior Forum for students entering grades 6 through 8 in the fall, and Senior Forum for teens entering grades 9 through12. Both programs will run concurrently from July 12 – 21 so that parents may have the option of having multiple students attend SuperCamp at the same time.
During the Junior Forum program, students discover their individual learning styles and develop skills for dealing with a heavier academic and social schedule over the 10-day program. They also learn how to participate in “real-life” activities that enable them to make responsible choices and win the support, understanding, and guidance of their teachers, parents, and peers.
Senior Forum students learn to make the most of every moment, uncover their unique abilities, and develop greater confidence, while mastering strategies for academic and personal success. The skills campers learn through the high school summer camp help to ease school stress, build study skills, improve grades, and increase test scores, including the ACT and SAT. Students also learn life skills that encourage them to discover their strengths, pursue goals, make big decisions, solve problems, and resolve conflicts.
Both 10-day programs encourage academic and personal success by teaching students 21st-century skills that they will retain for a lifetime. Drake University is only one of seven SuperCamp sites across the country that also includes Stanford University, Cornell University, and Wake Forest University.
