California Summer Camps Providing Kids and Parents with Value

Some California summer camps are emphasizing subtance over style this year in order to provide parents with a good return on their investment.

SuperCamp, which runs Northern California and Southern California summer camps at Stanford and Cal State San Marcos, respectively, has been providing parents and students with great value for 28 years in the form of powerful learning and life skills that help kids in school, with college prep and throughout their college careers and life.

Parents see the camp tuition as an investment in their students' grades and their future, as participants gain both learning skills and real-world communication, leadership, character and relationship skills. Most campers acquire added confidence, self-esteem and motivation, as reported in a major study with over 6,000 SuperCamp graduates.

As one parent of a recent SuperCamp graduate says, "A decision well worth making. We have seen remarkable improvements in our son's confidence, social skills and study skills as well as motivation."

The academic side of SuperCamp is equally valuable. Kathy Shoemaker, a school counselor, sent her son to SuperCamp and has this to say, "I am a huge fan of SuperCamp. My son Mark went for four years. It had a huge impact on his life. He struggled through middle school even though he is quite bright. SuperCamp helped him understand himself as a learner. It also helped him see himself as successful and a leader. This kid, who struggled with organization, now effectively juggles school, work and several extracurricular activities."

These testimonials reflect the feelings of thousands of parents who have sent their sons and daughters to SuperCamp's summer enrichment programs.

For those parents still unsure of how to best use their kids' time off this summer, SuperCamp is a smart choice. Just 10 days long, and held at great college campuses across the U.S., it provides a lifetime of value.
