At SuperCamp’s summer programs, students learn to apply
themselves to learning and develop a new interest in school. “SuperCamp,” said one mother from Del Mar, California,
“changed my daughter from getting below average grades to honor roll in one
semester. She can apply herself much
more easily and is far more confident.”
Result of a recent study involving over 6,000 SuperCamp
graduates ages 12 to 22 show that 81 percent of the graduates felt more
confident and 98 percent continued to use the skills they had learned at camp.
What’s the formula behind SuperCamp’s success? It may be the educational philosophy of
co-founder Bobbi DePorter. Heeding a
call from parents, she created a program that fills a gap left by traditional
education. At SuperCamp, students learn to expand beliefs and accept that they
can learn anything quickly and successfully.
They discover that what one student can do, so can the
other, if the tools are given to succeed. Students are taught that limits can
be broken and are given the tools and the experiences to do it. With a new set of beliefs, self-confidence
and motivation increase dramatically, say the co-founders.
A proper physical environment is also important to better
learning. SuperCamp uses one that
stimulates the senses with the sights, sounds, and touch of success.
An important part of SuperCamp’s philosophy is that students
are taught how to learn, not what to learn. Students gain knowledge of specific
tools that can be applied to any school subject, including foreign
languages. Courses include test
preparation, writing, reading comprehension, communication, and memory.
SuperCamp’s academic summer camps will be held in 8 to
10-day sessions throughout the summer at eight college campus locations across
the country. For more information on enrolling your student, visit the
