What does a typical day at SuperCamp look like?
While every day at camp is completely unique, staff members can expect to wake up around 6:30am to be ready to get campers up and moving at 7am. From there, the day could go in many different directions but will always include three meals, afternoon activity time, team bonding, sweet academic skills, lots of moving and lots of learning. Camper "lights out" time varies but is usually between 9-10:30; staff go to bed a bit later.

Who attends SuperCamp?
SuperCamp is a place where self-confidence, academic skills, and life skills are learned. Kids who come to SuperCamp are from a variety of backgrounds: those who do well in school, those who are struggling; some who are incredibly confident, some who are working to gain more; and those who have tons of friends along with those who are hoping to be more sociable.

Who can provide my three references?
