CampDepot.com: In the Spotlight

SuperCamp

SuperCamp® is an intensive 7-10 day academic and life skills summer program for youth – a transformational program that makes learning interactive and fun. CNN calls SuperCamp “a model learning environment” and USA Today reports how SuperCamp has changed kids’ lives. After a two-year study, The Wall Street Journal concluded that SuperCamp “turns so-so students into academic achievers” and “makes a big difference.”

At SuperCamp, kids from 4th graders through high school sing, rappel off trees, jump from 30-foot poles, dance and cheer their way through activity-packed non-stop 15-hour days. Highly-trained teachers help them learn how to learn math strategies, plus reading, writing, memory, communication and life skills like goal-setting, self-definition and how to increase self-esteem. The traditional perception of “learning” is turned on its ear at SuperCamp as “work” is turned into “play” and tedium into joy.

What is SuperCamp’s “Secret Ingredient?”

SuperCamp’s Quantum Learning® teaching method is the “secret ingredient” proven to positively transform kids’ attitudes, grades, test scores and confidence. We orchestrate teaching strategies to build curiosity and reach all kinds of learners and we get inside the student’s world so they know we care. As a result, kids experience “success moments” that build and spiral upward. If we had to pinpoint one “ingredient” it would be the orchestration of these mini-successes that creates the “shift” or change in students during their short time at SuperCamp and the motivation to excel when they return home.
