Summer School

SuperCamp is not summer school and not like any summer school programs, for that matter. In fact, SuperCamp is so different from summer school that we're going to tell you 20 ways SuperCamp is different. (You might want to share this with your son or daughter if they think that going to SuperCamp is going to be similar to summer school.)

20 Ways SuperCamp's Summer Camp is Different than Summer School

1. Summer school lasts a month or more. Our summer camp is 10 days long.
2. Summer school is held at your high school. Our summer camp is held on a college campus.
3. At summer school, you can fail. At our summer camp, you only succeed.
4. At summer school, you're miserable. At our summer camp, you have a great time.
5. At summer school, you're there with the same old students you see all year long. At our summer camp, you meet new friends from around the country and around the world.
6. At summer school, it's the same old teachers. At our summer camp, you interact with the most dynamic, engaging, fun-loving staff ever.
7. At summer school, you can't wait to leave. At our summer camp, you're having so much fun that you don't want the days to end.
8. At summer school, you tune out. At our summer camp, you want to pay attention.
9. Summer school is boring. Our summer camp is stimulating and full of energy from sun up to lights out.
10. Summer school is quiet. Our summer camp has music, hand clapping, foot stomping, and audience (that's you) participation.
11. Summer school is all about summer survival. Our summer camp is all about summer enrichment.
12. At summer camp, you're learning stuff you should have learned last year in school. At our summer camp, you're learning new skills that you will use in every class, in college and throughout your life.
13. At summer school, you come in, sit down, and leave. At our summer camp, you get up, have a great breakfast, learn for a while, take breaks, have an outdoor adventure day, learn some more, break for lunch, get together in small groups, get together in teams, get together with everyone, get 90 minutes before dinner to do whatever (swim, shoot hoops, hang out, read, call home), have a great dinner, get together in the evening with your team and one night with everyone for a dance, and wrap things up around 10:00pm.
14. At summer school, you hope to learn enough to pass the test. At our summer camp, you learn new things that stay with you because of the way you learned them, which means you get to use what you learned whenever you want because it's all inside your brain.
15. Summer school is punishment. Our summer camp is a gift from your parents because they love you and want to give you every opportunity for success.
16. Summer school is not fun. Our summer camp is fun.
17. Summer school gets old fast. Our summer camp is one surprise after another; not the same old, same old.
18. Summer school is not inspiring. Our summer camp is so inspirational that you'll leave after 10 days armed with new goals and the motivation to achieve them.
19. At summer school, you don't learn anything about life. At our summer camp, you learn a lot of life skills that help you with interpersonal communication, working with others, leadership, and more.
20. At summer school, you never want to go back. At our summer camp, you have such a good time and gain so much confidence and self-esteem that you can't wait to come back next year.
