Junior Forum, ages 11-13, grades 6-8
Understand yourself and grow!
Junior high school is a challenging experience. Classes and teachers can become more demanding. Students often find themselves struggling to find out who they are, what they're good at and what group of friends they fit in with. At SuperCamp's Junior Forum middle school summer camps, kids entering grades 6 to 8 discover their individual learning styles and develop skills for dealing with a heavier academic schedule. They also learn how to participate in "real-life" activities that enable them to make responsible choices and win the support, understanding and guidance of teachers and parents. And, of course, they will make friendships with students from across the country and the world, discover their talents and strengths and prepare for their transition into high school.
Junior Forum's junior high school camps are also a great bridge into our Senior Forum teen summer camps, where Junior Forum grads can build upon their learning and life skills fundamentals and personal character development by continuing to explore SuperCamp's 8 Keys of Excellence.
Senior Forum, ages 14-18, grades 9-12
Master your future!
The mission of our teen summer programs is to help participants learn how to make the most of every moment, uncover their unique abilities, and develop greater confidence, while mastering strategies for academic success. The skills campers learn at our high school summer camps will help ease school stress, build study skills, improve grades and increase test scores, including the SAT and ACT. Our life skills courses show students ways to discover their strengths, pursue goals, make big decisions, solve problems and resolve conflicts. We focus on self-expression, peer relationships, trust in others and maintaining one's individuality in the world. Campers entering grades 9 through 12 learn new skills that prepare them for the next grade level and the next big step, college/university.

Day 9 Today, you review and rehearse your new skills and integrate them into real-life situations so you can take them out and use them at school and home. The afternoon focuses on the Key of the day, Commitment. The primary target is to create a goal, focus on it, and formulate a plan to achieve it. You get to participate in a real-life experience of accomplishment as you overcome your obstacles. In the evening, you have an opportunity to stand before the entire camp and declare your commitment. The day concludes with individual strength acknowledgments as you receive and give accolades to your teammates.
Day 10 Graduation Day is here! For the past ten days, you have been on an incredible learning journey. Now is the time to celebrate your learning and discover the Key of Balance.
