SuperCamp teaches teens important life lessons.
Teens at our
academic summer camp, SuperCamp, find out an important life lesson when we talk
to them about how failure leads to success. Our failures provide us with
valuable gifts?they give us the information we need to learn so that we can
succeed next time.
The only path to
success is stepping out of your comfort zone and being willing to risk. What
keeps us from taking risks? The view that failure is a negative and the fear
that failing will cause us shame and guilt. How would you act if you knew that
failure is virtually your only path to success? We know this because nearly all
successful people failed a lot. But they learned, tried a new way, and went on
to succeed.

Teens learn how to overcome the pressures of their peers and build self-confidence.
As a teen you may
already have encountered peer pressure ? if you’re approaching your teens, it’s
something you may face fairly soon. During the 26 years of conducting learning
and life skills summer camp programs, the educators of SuperCamp have learned
quite a lot about the problems that teens face. Peer pressure is something that
teens find very hard to deal with so the SuperCamp team has come up with some
suggestions.
