SuperCampSuperCamp was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life, aside from being the greatest camp

experience I’ve ever had. I went to the camp in California. (SuperCamp is offered at a number of places

including Westfield State College in Massachusetts.) Arriving at camp that first day was as though I had

entered a temporary family. I was pretty nervous, being 3000 miles away from home and not knowing

anyone, but both the counsellors and campers made me feel right at home.

Memorizing lists by singing them as the lyrics of my favourite songs seemed like it wouldn’t work, but

it did! There are so many little tricks which I picked up that have helped me speed up the time it takes to

do my homework – while increasing the quality of my work.

Rope climbing and tight rope walking helped me dig down inside myself and overcome my fears: to

try to do those things that are more challenging for me. The most influential thing that SuperCamp

taught me was that what I do can make a difference not just for myself, but for other people. SuperCamp

helped me to become aware of my strengths and how to use them to overcome my weaknesses and

excel. The friends I made at camp were among the best I’ve ever had. After two years, I still keep in

touch with one of my counsellors.

I have been accepted by two very good colleges and feel that SuperCamp played a very important

part in those acceptances. SuperCamp showed me who I am, how to use my abilities and to set goals. I

learned to set goals to "go for" each day. It was not only a great learning experience but also the most

fun summertime trip. Thank you, SuperCamp, for everything.
