SuperCamp's Parent Support Programs Facilitate Better Parent-Teen Relationships
During the 3-day weekend, parents gain valuable knowledge into many of the same real-life skills their children learn through their 10-day residential SuperCamp experience. From mid-day Friday until Sunday’s graduation, parents take in a non-stop course that helps them understand, support, and interact with their kids better than ever before.
Parent Weekend facilitators challenge parents with the same dynamic, interactive Quantum Learning methods of teaching that has inspires SuperCamp students since 1982.
Specific skills that parents learn about, which are also taught in SuperCamp, include Living Above the Line – taking responsibility for one’s own actions, communication skills for apologizing and active listening, social problem solving techniques, and the 8 Keys of Excellence. The program also shows parents the different types of learning styles to help them understand how their kids learn and how to better support their academic endeavors.
For 2009, Parent Weekend will be offered at Cornell University, from July 17-19, Cal State-San Marcos, also from July 17 – 19, and Wake Forest University, July 31 – August 2. SuperCamp will conduct three grade-specific programs at seven college campuses in 2009 across the United States.
The three programs that Parent Weekend will coincide with are Junior Forum for students entering grades 6 – 8, Senior Forum for teens entering grades 9 – 12, and Quantum U for college students.
