SuperCamp

I came across Supercamp while looking for a math camp to send my child to. Supercamp came up in a Google search. So, I researched it. It was fairly expensive but it had good reviews. I enrolled my daughter in the program. Though not a math camp it did address learning modalities and gave her a leg up with her studies. FlashForward five years and now she is graduating from high school and will be attending the University of Scottland.
Last year my son failed math in 7^th grade. I sent him to Supercamp. This year was not easy in the beginning he was failing again. But, Supercamp follows up with its alumni and upon hearing that he was having problems, referenced the materials they sent home to help me help the him. Upon review and follow up I was able to help him turn things around. He graduated 8^th grade on the honor roll– Supercamp is real!

This camp is EXTRAORDINARY! We sent our son when he was 16. He left for SuperCamp shy, reserved and reluctant to express himself. Through a combination of fun activities (academic, personal growth and ropes courses), great instructors, caring team leaders and a lot of great kids, our son came home with a stronger sense of «self» and purpose. I attribute the success of SuperCamp largely to the outstanding curriculum and the amazing staff. The instructors are talented, top-​notch educators, and they really «get» teenagers.
After SuperCamp, we used a lot of the tools he learned in the program in our home (i.e., the 8 keys of excellence & the academic strategies for his school projects). Our son still applies the keys and the ownership frameworks to his personal and work life – especially «Living above the Line.»
This program works, and we highly recommend it.

This camp is the best summer event in my daughter’s academic career before college — she was quite skeptical going in and then begged to go back again. When you attend the «Graduation”/pickup — you simply can’t believe the transformation of your child from 10 – 14 days before. The keys lasted through the school year and the greatest part is that until this day, my daughter, as a freshman in college, still corresponds with her SuperCamp buddies who are now extremely successful college students as well. Can’t ask for more than that!

I sent my twin daughters for summer 2015 session at Loyola Marymount in LA. They are already very good kids but lacked some organizational skills and a little motivation. Super Camp helped them gain essential academic skills and life skills in an upbeat supportive environment. They even came home with new respect for each other!
At the parent workshop at the end of camp I was so impressed how the organizers were able to pierce thru that teenage dedicated apathy wit hall the kids. It was infectious!
We loved SuperCamp so much that on the final day when I picked them up I signed them up for the next level-​Leadership Super Camp. They are looking forward to that for this summer

DO NOT send your child to this camp. It’s expensive and not worth the money AT ALL. They advertise this as a ‘transitional camp’ — a camp that really changes the kids. Not hardly! We sent my son, who has Aspergers, to SuperCamp in Berkeley and it was a disaster! We were very upfront with the camp about Aspergers and what it means, and we were really looking at the camp as a perfect way to tweak our son’s attitude toward school and learning. The camp was all for it – that’s exactly what they do, no issues with the Aspergers, blah, blah. In the end, they asked us to take our son home early because he talked too much and wasn’t paying enough attention. They summed up all of his Aspergers symptoms when describing his issues — when he’s nervous or in a new situation, he talks or giggles or has other social faux pas. There was nothing transitional about this camp — just babysitters who couldn’t take the time to really work with the kids.
