- Summer Camp Gets Rid of Negative Self-Image
You don't have to look far into a group of young people to see examples of all the things they do to create an image. It's in their clothing, music, language, attitude, hair, make-up, hobbies - even in their choice of friends. Why do people have an image? - If It's to Be, It's Up to Me: Setting Extraordinary Goals
No dream ever comes true, no obstacle is ever overcome, no goal is ever reached without focused action. Yet young people are seldom specifically taught how to set and pursue goals. - If It's to Be, It's Up to Me: Setting Extraordinary Goals
No dream ever comes true, no obstacle is ever overcome, no goal is ever reached without focused action. Yet young people are seldom specifically taught how to set and pursue goals. - Academic Summer Camp Teaches Students the Importance of Motivation
Motivation is different from self-discipline. According to SuperCamp facilitator John LeTellier, self-discipline is doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, when you don't want to do it. Motivation is doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, when you want to do it. Motivation has passion in it. - With Memorization Training At Summer Camp, Students Are More Prepared For College
One major difference between high school and college is the amount of studying and memorization that is required. Many young people worry that their memories aren't up to the task when it comes to schoolwork. Here again it's a matter of training. Even though there are gazillions of ways to improve memory, schools don't do much to help students learn how to train their memories. - I Hear You, I'm Catching On, I've Got the Picture
Young people often sense that there's a disconnect between them and their teachers, but they seldom know what's behind it. Frustrated teachers often assume that a student is being lazy or impertinent even though he or she is really trying to learn. - Summer Camps Give Students the Confidence They Need to Be Successful
Campers come out of our programs sparkling with confidence because they've come face to face with their own success. We don't leave it to chance, belief, or wishful thinking. We let them experience for themselves just how good they are. We build in opportunities for them to succeed. They don't just believe they can be successful, they know it - because they've done it. - Tests? Bring 'em On! Academic Summer Camp Makes Test-Taking Easy
What comes up for you when you hear the word "test"? I'll never make it. I'm going to fail. I need to go to the nurse. These are typical responses we hear from students. - What's School Like for My Teen?
We learn a lot from parents. They often observe how much easier it is to talk about school with their sons and daughters after SuperCamp. Before, when parents brought up the subject of schoolwork, their teens tended to get reactionary: "Here it comes: the big lecture. It's all for my future, yadda yadda." But after camp, many of them can hardly stop talking about their school experiences. - Turning Poor Grades Into Excelling In School
Why is schoolwork such a struggle for so many teens? We believe the main reason is that most are never taught how to learn. When they are taught learning skills, they respond with, "Why didn't anyone tell me this? It makes so much sense to me now!" Until they have the basic common-sense tools of learning, they won't have the opportunity to discover how great they are. - Nine Easy Ways to Get Those A's
Students who attend SuperCamp's teen summer camps acquire many valuable learning and life skills. Here are some Quantum Learning tips that can help every student do better in school. Share them with your son or daughter. - Help Your Teen Through The Rough Patches - Ten Hot Tips
We see changes in kids every summer at our SuperCamp academic summer camps where we teach learning and life skills that help them know themselves, like themselves, and learn better. During our more than 25 years of running these summer programs we have learned lots and lots about teens and their problems—and how adults can help them through those sometimes rough years. - HELP YOUR KIDS LEARN - Create a Positive Study Environment
Parents can support and encourage their children's successful learning by helping them create a positive study environment. Here are some of the ideas we give to parents of children who have attended SuperCamp, - This Is It!
Quantum Learning Network president, Bobbi DePorter, calls making the most of every moment "This is IT!" Over 25 years ago, Bobbi developed the 8 Keys of Excellence, which students who attend SuperCamp, a worldwide learning and life skills summer camp program, are exposed to. "This is IT!" is one of the Keys. - Speak With Good Purpose
Words have the power to build people up and bring them down. They can uplift and enlighten, or depress and destroy. You have complete control over the words you use, so choose them carefully. The first step is awareness. Think before you speak. Focus on communicating positives: strengths, praise, encouragement. Handle negatives carefully. Your intention is a powerful tool.
