On the long road toward self-discovery, even the best learners stumble at least once or twice. How can they not? It is impossible to predict what roadblocks will be encountered on the journey and there is no universal map that points out all of the possible pitfalls and detours. What we can control are the life lessons we pick up along the way; those lessons can become bright lanterns during even the darkest times and lead us back to the path toward personal success.
Many hurdles can suddenly appear in life when least expected: time constraints, prior commitments, social engagements, and work-related stress. These often distract us from things that need a majority of our attention, like family and school work. Without a way to maintain the harmony of our lives, it is only a matter of time before we react badly to unexpected complications and possibly damage the relationships we have with others.
Kids and teens may feel this strain more acutely than adults, due to lack of life experience. At a time where social interactions are foremost in their minds, kids and teens need help balancing their priorities to stay content. SuperCamp, a leading academic summer camp, provides guidance and resources for students that assist them with maintaining harmony. Even if they seem able to accomplish that now, there is no telling what may happen in their futures. Equipping them with life skills can only help them as they encounter challenging situations further down the line.
There are many teen programs and youth development programs that provide study skills and test-taking tips, but SuperCamp provides students with a framework by which to live their lives. The 8 Keys of Excellence are comprised of these eight principles: Integrity, Speak with Good Purpose, Ownership, Failure Leads To Success, Flexibility, This Is It!, Commitment, and Balance. Each principle can be applied to numerous aspects of a student's life, ranging from effective time management, to acting responsibly in negative situations, to taking ownership of their education and performance.
Typically, teen programs and youth development programs are designed to prepare students for a future of more responsibility. They enthusiastically praise responsible choices: SuperCamp offers students the guidance and support network they need through a series of "real-life" activities aimed at helping them determine what approach works best for them when dealing with conflict. Students thrive in these settings because they are custom-built to allow them to make decisions for themselves and ultimately be the leader in their own destinies.
Whether in social interactions with friends and family or communicating with a teacher to enhance comprehension, students will benefit from life lessons that help them deal with stress and unforeseen circumstances. Something as stressful as the ACT or the SAT doesn't have to throw a wrench into their plans if they have a good handle on time management. They will be able to focus on maintaining a positive environment by taking ownership of their actions.
One of the most important lessons kids and teens will take away from SuperCamp is that they can safely express themselves in ways that may have originally been outside of their comfort zones. They will form lasting bonds with students much like themselves: students trying to find their way on the road toward personal success. No matter what their future goals are in life, they will have the life skills they need to achieve those goals.
Students will not only be able to guide themselves, but others down the road toward success. As leaders of their own lives, the lessons they learn along the way will only strengthen their resolve to overcome obstacles and forge ahead onto a new path of their own creation. - 16890
