Additional expense will not be incurred unless the new program fee is higher.

Lunch for students is served from 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. SuperCamp begins at 1:30 p.m. with orientation.

Vans will be arranged to transport students from SuperCamp locations to designated airports for departing flights. TELEPHONE CALLS / VISITS We cannot maximize the effectiveness of the program if the student’s experience is interrupted by visits, excessive phone calls, or removal from camp. It is requested that calls to campus and departures from campus be made only for emergencies. Prior to camp you will receive the campus mailing address and telephone number. If you need to leave a message for your child, the on-site office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (camp time zone). Students may bring a cell phone which must be checked in on arrival and can be checked out for calls on certain days for a limited time. The time of day will vary depending on the camp session.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE DAY We use professional and experienced companies to set up and safely assist students through all Outdoor Adventure events. Individual physical needs are considered. Participation in this activity is encouraged, but not required. ACADEMIC AND LIFE SKILLS CURRICULUM Course room times vary by subject. Students may be in the course rooms for six hours or more a day. The curriculum is highly interactive with breaks scheduled throughout the day. We reserve the right to alter or cancel any course advertised if such action is deemed necessary to improve the camp’s overall effectiveness. EVALUATIONS We maintain a non-competitive environment where students measure their own success based on personal progress during camp. A selfassessment form is provided to each student at the Junior and Senior Forum levels. The self-assessment form is mailed to parents by the end of September. Elective credit is given by some schools for participation in SuperCamp’s Senior Forum. Certificates are mailed in September with the self-assessments forms.

TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS Traveling Alone: Campers traveling alone will be met at baggage claim by our SuperCamp staff who will be wearing SuperCamp T-shirts and carrying ID. Unaccompanied Minor: If your child is flying as an unaccompanied minor registered for assistance by an airline, an additional fee is required by the airline. Please check with your airline regarding age guidelines, restrictions, and fees. For security, the airline requires SuperCamp staff to show a photo ID and obtain a security pass in order to pick up your child in a secured area. Please see Travel Itinerary form. Baggage Fees Please check with your airline regarding baggage fees and prepay options. If possible, prepay baggage fees for your child's return trip. Otherwise, make sure your child has the cash required for baggage fees. Any baggage fees paid by SuperCamp staff will be billed to you. Airports SuperCamp provides courtesy shuttle service on arrival and departure days to and from designated airports only.

Unlabeled lost and found items will be donated to a local charity 48 hours after camp has ended. What to Leave at Home We are able to achieve our results by providing a safe, focused and engaging environment, free of distractions. For this reason, all audio/visual devices such as music players, TVs, stereos, iPads, laptops, etc., and all sports equipment, skateboards, rollerblades, scooters, etc., should be left at home. If students arrive with any of the above items, or if they are found in someone’s possession during camp, they will be taken and stored in the SuperCamp office for the duration of the program. It is the camper’s responsibility to retrieve these items from the office immediately following graduation. Please leave all valuables at home. No animals allowed. Dormitory Information Housing is in furnished college dormitories. Students are housed two to four per room depending on the campus. Bathrooms are either shared by students in two rooms or students may share a hall bathroom. Basic linens and towels are provided. Most dormitories are not air conditioned. Most course rooms are air conditioned. Team Leaders help supervise the students and are assigned to the same dormitories. Male and female students and Team Leaders are housed in separate areas of the dormitories. No laundry facilities are available. Depending on the site, temperatures can range from 70°–95° during the day and 60°–80° at night. Communication We understand that you are interested in what your child is doing. We provide photos of your child’s session that you can view online every day. To view photos, follow the instructions to the secured photo website provided in your parent letter. This important letter will be emailed to you approximately two weeks prior to your child’s camp start date and will include information regarding communication with the camp site staff. Cell phones brought to camp must be turned in during registration. Cell phones may be checked out on certain days for a limited time. The time of day will vary depending on the camp session. If a student fails to turn in his/her cell phone and it is found in his/her possession, the student will lose their cell phone privileges for the duration of camp. Although we allow students to make phone calls, we encourage them to limit their phone usage as we find that it distracts them from being fully engaged in the program. Just like you, we want your child to get the most out of his/her SuperCamp experience. Please help us by doing your part in following these guidelines and we will do our part to make your child’s camp experience as valuable as possible.
