Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequentlly asked questions about SuperCamp. If you do not see your question here, please contact us and we will answer your question.
Who Attends SuperCamp 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 having 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, gaining new skills and insights each time. We encourage students to move through each program, continuously building on their Quantum Learning skills.
How Can SuperCamp Help In College Preparation?
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 skills and mastery of tests Additionally, many students have used their SuperCamp experience as a valuable topic to write about when they write college application 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. It's what we hear often from parents. Please call us. 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:
I felt at home soon after arriving.
I looked forward to the ropes course. It was great!
It defined my strengths and I learned how smart I am.
I met fantastic people and continue to communicate with them. (how about quotes around each of these statements?)
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 Tuition Refund 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 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.
Will Students Have Free Time for Activities?
Every afternoon, students have approximately 2 hours for supervised unstructured time, during which they can choose to participate in activities such as swimming, basketball, volleyball, excursions to the campus bookstore, and official campus tours. Available activities vary by campus.
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 success.
If Flying To Camp, Where Do You Meet Students?
SuperCamp staff wearing SuperCamp shirts and name tags provides courtesy airport transportation from designated airports.
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 College Forum). This final session is an opportunity for parents to experience firsthand the 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.
