What does a Team Leader do?
Team Leaders are a very important part of SuperCamp. They build team with their group of campers and encourage them to apply the skills they are learning to their lives. Team Leaders are role models, leaders and friends.
What does a typical day look like?

Who attends SuperCamp?
SuperCamp is a place where self confidence, academic skills, and life skills are learned. Students who wish to learn more in these areas come to SuperCamp.
Who can provide my three references?
References can be from anyone other than family members. Past or current employers, business associates, and professors are great resources for references.
Where can I find the link for references?
Can my parents/guardian call the SuperCamp Programs Department on my behalf during the application process?
Your application information (contract, pay, etc.) is only discussed with you. We would like to build a connection with you prior to your arrival at site and request that you call personally with any questions or concerns you may have.
Do I get to choose my site?
All applicants are asked to submit their top three site choices. The SuperCamp Programs Department will make every effort to ensure that staff members are placed at their desired sites.
After my application is submitted, what's next?
Once submitted you will receive a call within 72 hours with instructions on what to do next. You will also receive an email within 24 hours after submitting your application. Oftentimes this email is sent to your bulk/spam email so double check those folders.
What if I'm not selected for employment?
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! All applicants are encouraged to reapply in the future.
What if I cannot fulfill my contract because of an emergency?
Staff members who do not fulfill the requirements of their contracts may be subject to a financial penalty. Emergency situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Will I receive college credit or internship credit?
While SuperCamp staff members do not receive college credit you will have a unique opportunity to interact with professionals in a variety of fields from all over the country. These could become valuable networking contacts, ultimately leading to employment opportunities.
What are the age and education requirements for Team Leaders?
Team Leaders must be at least 18 years of age (by June 15th) and be high school graduates.
Do I live outdoors with the campers?
Although SuperCamp is a camp, participants stay in college/university dormitories. Team Leaders also stay in the dorms in order to supervise campers in the evenings.
Will I have time off?
Staff members are provided with times throughout the ten-day program when they can go on breaks. In addition, time is provided between programs for much-needed R & R.
What training will I receive before I arrive?
Team Leaders will participate in five days of staff training prior to the arrival of campers. This on-site training will answer many of the questions that exist for new staff members.
Will I need a car?
You will not need a car but staff members are welcome to bring vehicles to their SuperCamp site. However, please bear in mind that you will be required to purchase a parking permit for the vehicle. Prices for these permits vary depending on the site. Quantum Learning Network will not pay any parking fines received by staff members.
Now that I am hired, what's next?
What will my accommodation be on site?
SuperCamp will provide you with room and meals throughout your contracted dates.
When do I need to have all of my Paperfun in? (W4, I-9, travel receipts, etc.)
June 1st is the deadline. If you are having issues with the deadline please call and let us know about your problem (phone Marina at 800-285-3276, ext. 146). If we do not receive your Paperfun by June 1st and we have not heard from you, your contract could be cancelled, but we will phone you first to give you notice of this possibility.
How do I get to site?
If I fly in, will someone be there to pick me up from the airport?
Yes, a staff member will be at the airport to take you to site. There is a list of approved airport codes in the travel portion of your Paperfun. Make sure you fill in your online travel itinerary in your Paperfun so we know when you'll be there.
