Pros: It help him to be more aware by living life intentionally instead of emotionally.
Cons: None
Summary: "On a scale of 1 -10 it was an 11." This was the response my son gave when asked about his Supercamp experience. He attended the Stanford University camp location (year 2012). His group was very diverse. They attended 6 academics classes in 10 days. He ... read more

Pros: Team Building
Trust
Academic Challenges
Goals
Cons: Cafeteria food (sometimes)
Only on 1 team
Summary: I attended SuperCamp in 2011 and when I first arrived, I was definitely overwhelmed. My mom sent me here and I totally did NOT want to go at first. I arrived and the staff was polite and friendly--and very excited. I met a few friends right away who felt ... read more

Pros: close to home, so we could pick him up.
Cons: waste of money
Summary: I sent my son to supercamp, after reading all the wonderful marketing success. My son is a B/C student, that just needed a little motivation. He came from a small Catholic School, so he was pretty sheltered. ONce he got to camp, he called us every ... read more

Pros: bad food and dorms, rude staff, zero diversity, everything already stated above
Cons: I wish someone would have told me exactly what awful things to expect.
Summary: This camp was the worst experience at a place away from home I have ever had. The program's website shows pictures of kids having so much fun but at my session, I only remember a few people actually enjoying it. The majority of the people I met hated it ... read more

Pros: - Great staff- Make great friends- Good food- Free time given (not too many options)
Cons: -Not much academic learning-Boys&girls segregated like sheep&wolves-No air conditioning
Summary: I attended Super Camp Cornell in 2009. To give the best review I will be as honest as possible. If your child is the type of person who is shy, easily embarrassed or uncomfortable with dancing around, singing and sharing stories with people, then do NOT ... read more

Pros: I was picked up early.
Cons: The whole camp itself was a waste of my time.
Summary: If you look at the reviews on this page they are mostly comments from the parents. And since when did the parents go to Super Camp with their child? Yeah none of them did...people like me actually had to go there. And in my opinion and many other ... read more

Pros: Well, since it didn't work, we didn't have any
Cons: Expensive and too much to expect to change behavior in 2 short weeks.
Summary: We sent our daughter (an A to B student) to Supercamp in high hopes they could get her charged up about her studies enough to cross into the straight A group. She didn't want to go and she is very stubborn. We encouraged (dragged kicking and screaming) ... read more

Pros: Dynamic staff, multi-cultural participants, phenomenal results
Cons: None!
Summary: It has been over a decade since I attended Learning Forum's SuperCamp, and my life will still never be the same. As a junior in high school, I experienced so much growth at SuperCamp--not just from the content, but also the dynamic teaching styles of the ... read more

Pros: They're pretty convincing.
Cons: Don't believe the hype.
Summary: I reserved the July camp for my son over the phone in March and, because of some unforeseen family health issues, had to cancel at the end of April. Guess what -- they still kept $1250.00. After dealing with them on this level, it's pretty obvious that

Pros: They built confidence in themselves.
Cons: The camp is small and gets full fast.

Pros: Phenomenally trained staff, able to connect with teens where they are.

Summary: My niece and nephew (two different families, personalities, parts of the country) went to Supercamp programs, and both of them had truly transformative experiences. Very different kinds of kids, one of them is a jock and outgoing, the other an

Pros: Great, caring staff that motivates kids to be their best.
Cons: Not cheap.

Pros: Energetic & engaging staff who really care about the students.
Cons: none

Cons: It costs over $2000, but it's worth it.
Summary: My husband and I sent our son to SuperCamp in 2007. He was between his freshman and sophomore years in high school. His grades weren't good as a freshmen even though we knew he could do much better. First of all, he loved his time at camp. He loved the
