Six leading human development and youth achievement experts from The Secret, SuperCamp and The Passion Test have joined forces to create a free one-day teleseminar series to help parents deal with teens who are fearful of and negative about the future.
Entitled "Shifting Teens' Focus to a Positive Future," this three-hour teleseminar event is free to people who register at http://www.SuperCamp.com/teleseminar. The teleseminar runs from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. eastern daylight time (4:00 - 7:00 p.m. pacific daylight time) on Thursday, June 18.
The teleseminar consists of six 30-minute one-on-one conversations with six human development leaders, each of whom addresses a particular area of relevance to teens. The speakers delve into such subjects as passion, motivation, visioning, excellence, and happiness.
The speakers include three participants in the popular and successful movie, The Secret: John Assaraf, Lisa Nichols and Marci Shimoff. Also participating are Janet Attwood, from The Passion Test, Bobbi DePorter, co-founder and president of SuperCamp, and Harrison Klein, an inspiring writer and speaker.
The event is hosted by SuperCamp, the world's leading summer enrichment program. SuperCamp has graduated over 50,000 students from its academic summer camps since 1982.
Ms. DePorter said that the idea for this event came from feedback she has received from many parents who have expressed concern over the negative effect the recession and other news is having on their teens and pre-teens. "SuperCamp is all about creating a positive vision for the future with students, so this teleseminar with all these great speakers, was a perfect way to provide parents with some much-needed help," said DePorter.
This summer, SuperCamp is holding teen summer camps at seven U.S. colleges, including Stanford, Cornell, and Wake Forest. There are grade-specific programs for students entering grades 6-8 in the fall, those going into grades 9-12, and those entering or already in college.
Ms. DePorter indicated that many SuperCamp sessions for this summer have already filled and suggested that parents should visit SuperCamp.com or call 800-285-3276 to lock-up a spot for their sons and daughters now.
