The world is full of distractions that keep us from being the motivated, confident women that we really are. Bobbi DePorter, a teen motivator and learning expert, created a camp for teenagers between the 6th grade all the way to college. SuperCamp, the 7 to 10 day camp, is a residential camp that teaches young women and men how to beat the distractions of everyday life, and how to make the most out of school, relationships and life in general.
SuperCamp teaches its campers the eight Keys of Excellence, principles that help develop characters. The method was developed by DePorter himself.
“So much of what we do is helping build kids’ confidence, creating mini-success moments, getting them to go outside their comfort zones, helping them determine what their learning style is,” DePorter said on her website.
SuperCamp doesn’t just help with building confidence; it also focuses on helping students achieve higher SAT scores, understand more about mathematics and reading and teaches test taking skills. It helps enhance its camper’s confidence, “empowering them to earn better grades and have better communication and relationships with family and peers,” according to the SuperCamp website.
Kevin, a graduate from SuperCamp, believes this camp has changed his life for the better. “SuperCamp was a wonderful experience. The skills will last a lifetime and my relationship with my parents has already improved. Although I am on the other side of the globe, I maintain a close relationship with my team members through e-mail.”
Katie is another graduate of SuperCamp. “I made really great friendships and I still talk to those people all the time. And I learned effective learning and study skills that help me in high school. I got the best grades that I have ever gotten and I really look forward to coming back this year.”
If you are interested in attending SuperCamp, there are many locations all over the United States. Check out the SuperCamp website for more information!
