San Marcos, CA (PRWEB) June 5, 2005 -- Parents looking for a local camp to send their children to this summer now have a new option. SuperCamp, an academic camp that teaches children academic and life skills, opens the doors for its new San Marcos location this month.
Founded in 1982, SuperCamp offers students the chance to improve their grades, test scores, and study skills, at the same time helping them improve relationships and everyday living. SuperCamp is based on concepts that make learning fun and easy, along with positive peer support and carefully orchestrated environmental factors. The camp balances academics with fun activities such as a ropes course.
The first camp, with 64 students attending, was held in July 1982. Results were so impressive the company grew quickly and the word spread. SuperCamp has graduated over 32,000 students from all 50 states and 70 additional countries. SuperCamp offers seven locations nationwide, and is also expanding internationally.
Actual quote from a SuperCamp parent: My daughter, Danielle, has been attending SuperCamp for the past four years. I have watched her grow leaps and bounds intellectually during this time. Danielle previously hated school; she was very shy and never participated in class. Getting Danielle to do her homework was a nightly struggle, which I dreaded. SuperCamp gave Danielle the tools to approach school with a positive attitude."
SuperCamp San Marcos will offer two sessions this summer:
Junior Forum: July 6 - 15
Ages 11-13, Grades 6-8
Junior high is a challenging experience. Students are struggling to find out who they are, what theyre good at and what group of friends they fit in with. At SuperCamp, theyll discover the ways they learn best and develop skills for dealing with an academic schedule. Campers also participate in "real-life" activities for dealing with new independence, making responsible choices, and winning the support, understanding and guidance of teachers and parents. Build friendships with students from across the country and the world while preparing for the transition to high school.
Senior Forum: June 24 - July 3
Ages 14-18, Grades 9-12
Perfect for the high school and pre-college student, the skills students learn at SuperCamp will help to ease school stress, raise grades and increase test scores, including the SAT and ACT. Life skills courses offer ways to discover strengths, pursue goals, make decisions, solve problems and resolve conflicts. Students focus on self-expression, peer relationships, trust in others and maintaining individuality in the world.
