  • Make it a Great Start to the School Year
    At SuperCamp, students learn valuable techniques that make learning fun and easy. To ensure these skills are not lost or forgotten when the leave camp, it is important for parents to help enforce them at home. With a new school year upon us, one of the biggest things parents can do to help set their student up for success is to create a positive study environment at home.
  • The Quantum Learning Tenets
    The Tenets are important concepts or guiding principles that are basic to the Quantum Learning system. These ideas are woven throughout the fabric of the system, and as a result will be rediscovered in many applications and strategies. The Tenets are specifically designed to improve our practice in the classroom by directing our focus. We recommend that you post them in a place where you will see them on a regular basis.
  • The Home Team
    Especially during tough times, young people need to know they can talk freely with someone they trust to really listen - someone who they feel is "on their team." Trust and security are created through acceptance, traditions, sharing, and a sense of belonging. At SuperCamp, our campers open up so freely and talk so deeply in our programs because we create this environment. Everything we do is on purpose.
  • At Summer Camp, Students Learn that It's Fun and Exciting Outside of Their Comfort Zone
    Everybody's familiar with the concept of the comfort zone. It's where we live most of the time. At SuperCamp, campers describe what it's like inside their comfort zones: comfortable, safe, familiar, and... boring.
  • 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.
