Who Attends SuperCamp Summer Camp Programs?

Our participants are similar to those in a typical classroom. While students' grades range from straight A's to failing, the majority are somewhere in between. We believe everyone possesses enormous potential and can be successful in school and in life - if given the tools and confidence to learn and grow.

High achievers tell us they appreciate gaining learning skills that reduce their study time, refine communication strategies, and life skills that enhance their relationships. Students who are struggling due to low motivation, self-esteem and/or poor grades will discover new techniques to help them hurdle the barriers that blocked their progress in the past.

At What Age Do Students Benefit Most?

Students benefit at all ages. In fact, there's so much to learn, we recommend students attend all levels, learning new skills and gaining new insights each time. We encourage students to move through each camp program, continuously building on their Quantum Learning skills, to help with middle school, high school and college preparation and success.

How Do You Achieve Such Great Results in 10 Days or Less?

Unlike most summer camp programs, we have the students "24/7" in Junior Forum and “24/10” in Senior Forum, in an orchestrated learning environment that uses a very specific design frame. A prime directive of SuperCamp is that we seek to get into the students' world and understand them, which builds trust and earns us the right to teach. Throughout the entire session, we build on mini-successes, so by the end of the camp we are celebrating the students' successes.

How Can SuperCamp Help In College Preparation?

SuperCamp helps in college preparation in several ways. First is the experience of living away from home in a collegiate setting. Second, we focus on the process of assuming responsibility and accountability in one's life, as well as honing study and learning skills and mastery of tests (including the SAT). Additionally, students have written about what they learned about themselves at SuperCamp on college essays.

What If A Student Is Reluctant To Go?

Although many students choose to attend, it's not uncommon for students to be hesitant about attending. We hear from many parents that this is a typical reaction their children have to summer camp programs in general. Please call us and take a look at what some SuperCamp grads have to say. Sometimes it helps to view the complimentary CD or video and talk to other SuperCamp graduates. Many of them were reluctant to attend and ended up having the time of their life. Here's what we've heard:


It may be reassuring for your son or daughter to know that anytime after two days, if he or she does not want to stay, there's the option to leave and receive a partial refund if you have purchased the Early Departure Insurance.

What Kind of Supervision Is Provided?

The student to staff ratio is at least four-to-one. Students are assigned to teams, headed by two team leaders. Among other responsibilities, team leaders help supervise and support the students and are assigned to the same residence halls, providing 24-hour assistance.

What are the Backgrounds and Experience of the SuperCamp Staff? Parents think as highly of our SuperCamp staff as their kids and we do. And with good reason. The people we hire are enthusiastic, supportive and committed to positively impacting lives. The great majority of the camp's staff are Education majors or graduates. Not surprisingly, most of the staff return year after year because they enjoy the experience of working with successful people in a dynamic accelerated learning program. Facilitators, the most visible leaders at SuperCamp, are chosen from among the top professional teachers and trainers in the country. Hundreds of applicants go through our selection process and only a few are chosen to train with SuperCamp. Many of our Facilitators have advanced degrees and, more importantly, all have a natural ability to engage every student and bring out their personal greatness. Facilitators receive 200-300 hours of on-site training in Quantum Learning methods before they direct the summer camp program. Learn more about several of the energetic educators who will lead one of our SuperCamp locations this summer.
Importantly, the program management team also has a wealth of hands-on experience with SuperCamp. In fact, the Program Manager of SuperCamp, Chicka Elloy, has been associated with SuperCamp since 1993, first as a camper, then in many staff roles and now as the directing manager of all summer camp programs. He and his staff bring an intrinsic understanding of what works to their jobs. You can learn more about the different SuperCamp staff positions at our SuperCamp Staff website. Back to top of Summer Camp FAQs Will Students Have Free Time for Activities? Every afternoon, summer camp students have approximately 90 minutes for supervised "free time" during which they can choose to participate in a variety of activities and sports or simply enjoy some relax-time.

How Does SuperCamp Differ From Tutorial Programs?

The most fundamental difference involves the way we help facilitate lasting changes in a student's attitude and motivation toward school. At SuperCamp, students learn lifelong learning skills they can apply to any subject and serve as a roadmap toward academic success.

When Can Parents Observe The Program?

Parents are invited to attend the graduation ceremony on the last day of the program (with the exception of Quantum U). This final session is an opportunity for parents to experience firsthand the camp program's learning environment, meet the staff and ask questions, while students celebrate and say farewell to friends. Parents can also view daily photos from camp and read about the activities through the Camp Photos secure on-line site.
