Jake attended Stanford Senior Forum prior to his final year of high school. The impact was so great that he became a counselor the following summer. He describes his experience as life changing. Jake believes that what he learned made college life more fulfilling. And though his time spent as a counselor was exhausting, he admits it’s “the hardest work you’ll ever love.” His love hasn’t died. He went on to be a counselor for five more years and currently works for SuperCamp’s parent company, Quantum Learning Network, as partnerships director.

After experiencing difficulty academically and socially in eighth grade, Matt enrolled in SuperCamp’s Senior Forum. From there he went on to Leadership Forum and then Quantum U the following year. Being extremely grateful that the mentor team was able to help him break through his insecurity, he suddenly realized that he wanted to return the favor and become a team leader. No longer nervous, he now speaks with authority, is approachable, and goes out of his way to connect with campers. The exact same way one special team leader connected with him, just four years ago.
