Supercamp 2013- A Fun Camp for Kids 8-18

Snapshot of last year’s supercamp

Are you looking for a way to meaningful engage your child this year end school holidays?  Are you concerned that your child is spending too much time texting, playing Minecraft, watching YouTube videos, on Facebook or aimlessly idling away their holidays?

I certainly am!! I don’t want  my boys to waste away their 7 weeks of  end of year school vacations.  I want their vacation to be filled with activities which are both exciting and educational for them.

Their  school vacation should be a time where by they learn how to be more self motivated and discipline to apply themselves to studies and increase their self confidence level. It should be a time whereby they are able to build up their life skills. This is where Supercamp comes in.

What is Supercamp?

Founded by Bobbi DePorter in 1982 the aim was to teach students important life-skills that they could use for the rest of the lives while making learning fun and meaningful. Adopting cutting -edge learning technology from Georgi Lazanov and life-lessons from the world’s greatest achievers, Bobbi developed an innovative and engaging 7-day- life-skills and academic skills program- Supercamp.

Speed reading, study skills, writing, maths, creativity and critical thinking with important life skills in the areas of communication, leadership, relationships, self-worth, personal responsibility, goal setting and more are all explored at the 7 day camp.

How they teach.

The camp leaders put activities together in a fast an fun way so students learn with speed, little effort and with lots of ACTION and fun.  The elements of fun, games, color, positive thinking, physical fitness and emotional health are all combined to provide the child with a high-impact, powerful learning experience.

What your child would learn at the camp

At the camp your child would pick up both life-skills and academic skills. His resilience will be molded together with his self motivation and sense of responsibility.  He too will learn how to foster better relationships with others.

All this  is done through getting the child to understand the following through a series of activities.

– how to manage their energy peak during exams

– creative problem solving

– troubleshooting problems given real life scenarios

At the camp your child will be able to use their newly acquired skill set over and over again till it becomes second nature to them under the guidance of the team leaders

What Makes Supercamp Singapore So Special

Supercamp Singapore  only runs once a year as they passionately  believe in giving students the very best. It is the ONLY  in-depth life skills program in Singapore. Applying the  techniques from Bobbi’s accelerated learning inventions, first introduced in 1982. one is able to find out the deep “WHY” or your child- WHY study harder, WHY learn more, WHY push during the 7 day intensive camp.

It has been Singapore’s best kept secret which is unanimously loved by parents and kids. Past campers love it so much that they have been returning to Supercamp year after year.

Parents whose kids went to Supercamp have seen that their  quiet and introvert kids have become more confident and have broken out of their shell. They make friends more easily, volunteer for leadership positions in school  and are  also more self motivated to study well.  With the right attitude in life the parents need not worry and stress up so much over their kids.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck

Book Cover

The boys and I were very excited when Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck, Book 8 by Jeff Kinney came in the mail this week. The kids have been anxiously waiting for the release of the 8th book in the series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. We have read a couple of Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and absolutely loved them.

In this 8th Edition,  Greg Heffley’s best friend Rowley Jefferson ditches him for a girl. Greg has to find a new friend to hang out with in school and this was certainly a mammoth task for him. Greg felt very lost without Rowley around and missed all the crazy things that they used to do together.  Now that Rowley’s girlfriend has taken over his spot and 100% of his attention things were not the same.

Greg tried hard to find alternative people to hang out with but it was not the same. All of them- being the photographer for the school year book, befriending the lonely boy that his mom had tried to pair him up with , fell short of his expectation as a replacement for Rowley.

In the end it was the best friends made up and were all buddy buddy again when  Rowley finally broke up with his girlfriend.

My thoughts

I really enjoyed reading this books and the boys too love it. The illustrations together with the daily account of the days happening were really hilarious and engaging.  Through reading the book I could relate to the feelings that Greg felt as I too have a dysfunctional extended family.  The book was certainly really addictive and I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it.

It certainly would make a good Christmas present for a kid this year.
