SUPERCAMP
Leading Summer Camp in the World With over 50,000 graduates in 27
years, SuperCamp is the leading academic summer camp in the world.
Kids and teens 11-18
love SuperCamp and so do their parents! Kids love it because, at
SuperCamp, they discover their own greatness. They learn that they can
accomplish anything they put their minds to. And they enjoy every
action-packed minute at camp with SuperCamp’s dynamic staff. Parents
love it because their kids return home more positive, confident and
motivated, which is reflected in their grades, their relationships at
home and with friends, and their desire to make things happen in their
lives.
As
SuperCamp, students gain valuable learning skills in such areas as
effective reading, creative writing, critical thinking, and problem
solving, plus study, test-taking, and memory techniques. Life skills
instruction includes enhancing communication, interpersonal, time
management, and leadership ability. Another important aspect of
SuperCamp is character development using the 8 Keys of Excellence:
Integrity, Failure Leads to Success, Speak with Good Purpose, This is
it, Commitment, Ownership, Flexibility and Balance.
SuperCamp’s 10-day
residential camps are held on seven college campuses across the U.S.:
Stanford, Cornell, Cal State San Marcos (San Diego), University of
Washington, Colorado College, Drake University (Des Moines), Cornell,
and Wake Forest. Two age-specific programs are offered: Junior Forum,
for students entering grades 6-8 in the fall, and Senior Forum, for
students entering grades 9-12.
For the first time
ever, this year SuperCamp will hold a 10-day Senior Forum camp in
Spanish and one in Mandarin. Both camps will take place at Cal State San
Marcos in San Diego in July. These camps are a great opportunity for
high school students who are taking one of these languages at a high
level to get 10 days of immersion in the U.S., while gaining the
learning and life skills that SuperCamp is known for.

Articles It's Better to Act than React-
Bobbi DePorter explains that by encouraging teens to take charge of the
way they respond to unfavourable situations, they gain empowerment by
first getting a handle on how they feel, rather than lashing out or
reacting in retaliation to something or someone.
Give A Man a Fish
- “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and
you feed him for a lifetime.”No two people learn exactly the
same way. Some people learn better in one environment than another.
Often, teens become convinced they can’t learn when in fact they’d learn
just fine if the information were presented differently. Bobbi DePorter
shares that learning how to learn is critical to a student’s long-term
success, not only in school, but in life.

the positive - when they acknowledge every effort and celebrate every
achievement. Teen Success Starts with Setting Goals- It’s not too early as a teen or pre-teen to have a specific vision

of their Masks - We all wear ‘masks’ according to what
we're doing and with whom we're interacting, and teens are no different.
They soon discover that they can hide behind their masks rather than
risk exposing their true selves. Bobbi DePorter shares what parents can
do to turn around a negative self-image in their son or daughter.
The Gift of
Being Heard - Good relationships are built on
communication - and communication is a skill. Bobbi DePorter shares some
