The SuperCamp Experience
SuperCamp is a highly engaging 7-10 day experience where your son or daughter gains inspiration by living on a university campus such as Stanford, Brown and Wake Forest. Students at SuperCamp learn how to learn – reading, writing, thinking, speaking, memory and note-taking – along with communication, leadership and relationship skills.

It is a place where students look at their values and how they're living their lives. And a hidden gift of SuperCamp is how it helps deepen the positive connection between you and your child.
