From: Melvin Soh, Program Manager,
Supercamp Singapore
Dear Parent,
Thanks for dropping by our thread.
We specially took up this thread to tell you a little more about Supercamp:
How we stand far apart from all the different camp programs out there,
what we can do for your child and why we are so confident.
You arrived here by one of two ways: You clicked on our KiasuParents featured article ...
or you are a regular user of the forum, wanting to find a reliable enrichment program for your child.
Either way, it shows you care for your child and want the best for them.
In this thread, you'll get a chance to learn why
Supercamp is the PREMIER life-skills and academic program in Singapore, how we can help your child ... and how you can enjoy
a "$1000 discount" off our December program.
More below!
>> What is Supercamp and What Do We Do?
Parents have called us the
"best-kept secret amongst Singapore parents" because we've been quietly helping thousands and thousands of students excel in school and life for the last 13 years.
You won't see our ads in the papers every single day - because we don't need to. Parents send their kids back routinely because they love the results and positive change in their kids.
Kids want to come back because they love the experience.
Even celebs like Class 95FM Radio DJ, Joe Augustin, send their kids to us because they trust and know we'll deliver a high-quality, life-changing program.
Every year, we cruise nicely on word-of-mouth advertising from parent-to-parent, child-to-child.
This year, for the first time ever, we decided to try something "a little different", which is why we're here at KiasuParents.
Here's what we do at Supercamp:We teach your child practical life-skills and academic skills that help them not only do better in school, but also become a better person.
They become more driven, know what they want,
have direction and can focus their energy to achieve goals.
Second, they
become tougher - mentally and emotionally.
At Supercamp, we want to build their inner character up so they never give up and can handle challenges.
Finally, we
help your child find their OWN inner motivation to study.
They don't need MORE tuition classes anymore.
What they need is to look INSIDE themselves, and find that self-motivation to want to do well.
It's like the old proverb -
you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
We help your child find their OWN drive so they drink from the foundation of knowledge - WILLINGLY!
>> 6 Reasons Why We Are Special From ALL The Other Programs Out There!
There are hundreds of companies out there touting their services - but we at Supercamp know we stand apart from the "average" camp.
Here's why:
#1.) Firstly, Supercamp is the MOTHER of ALL Academic and Learning Camps!
We invented many of the learning techniques most camp companies are only beginning to use.
Our founder, Bobbi DePorter, worked with learning pioneer, Georgi Lazanov, to do the first Supercamp in 1982 in California, and since then, we've helped countless, countless kids worldwide.
We've been in Singapore for over a decade - so we know what we're doing.
We teach using the accelerated learning methods we invented.
That means more doing, less preaching. Your child will get a chance to learn through action, movement, games, activities, debriefs, reflections and more.
This helps him/her to absorb the information deeper, and be able to apply it in their everyday lives.
#2.) We give your child maximum attention.
Our staff to student ratio is 1:5. That means one staff member to 5 students.
This is in contrast to other programs where the ratio is 1 staff member to 30 kids.
We pride ourselves on giving your child maximum attention every single step of our program. This is because by doing this, we can help your child break bad habits, integrate the learning into their lives, and start REAL, practical change.
#3.) We have a PROVEN 31-year curriculum based on POSITIVE inspiration
In Supercamp Singapore, we teach by adapting our time-tested Supercamp curriculum for the Singapore education market.
We make sure the life-skills apply and the academic skills are useful.
On top of that, we motivate your child with safe, positive methods.
Your child leaves feeling inspired to do more in their lives, and knowing that they can.
This is in sharp contrast with many local companies who frighten students into doing better using fear, swear words, crying and loud breaking sounds.
We disapprove of these because they leave an emotional scar on your child's young mind.
Your child is in much safer hands when they come to Supercamp.
#4.) We teach life-skills and academic skills that LAST A LIFETIME!
We don't just teach them how to ace the PSLE or "O" Levels.
We teach them how to ace LIFE!
See, once your child figures out how they tick, what drives them, what learning methods work BEST for them - they can use it over and over again - FOR ANY TEST AND EXAM!
That goes the same for character strengthening.
Once they have a strong and mentally tough mind, they can cope with whatever challenges come their way!
#5.) Our residential camp format takes your child out of their usual bad habits, and gets them to practice excellence till it becomes second nature.
Most other programs run like a "9-to-5" session. After, kids go back - toss the materials aside - and head straight for the TV and the computer.
No wonder kids quickly forget what was taught!
BUT at Supercamp, the kids stay with us for 7 FULL DAYS!
This means we get to work with them to break many of their bad habits, help them build new ones, practice the positive skills we teach - so when they leave ... it's ALL second-nature!
And yes, its a greater cost for us because we need to find accommodation, food and more for 7 full days ... and we even make ALL our adult staff stay right there, with your kids, in the same hostel for the duration of camp.
We are willing to do this because we know THIS residential format will result in
REAL change for your child.
#6. We do this from a place of PURE PASSION
Look, we only do Supercamp once - at best, twice - a year.
This is in sharp contrast to other companies that pump out previews and programs every single week!
We deliberately keep numbers small and make sure your kids receive full attention.
We fly facilitators in from the US, train our staff for days and days to ensure they can help your kids to the best, eat and stay in exactly the same place as your child.
Why do we do this?
Pure Passion.
Yes, we make money from the program, but we do this only ONCE a year - we pump all our energy to making the program the BEST and MOST SUCCESSFUL program we can.
If it means going the extra mile, talking longer to your child, helping them truly "get it",
we - ALL our professionally-trained staff - are willing to do whatever it takes.
