SuperCamp Senior Forum

Senior Forum is a transformational experience for high school students, most of whom are feeling the stresses of needing to achieve good grades, but who are doing so as much for their parents as for themselves. This “have to” feeling changes at SuperCamp, as students get inspired and self-motivated to want to learn and to set and achieve goals.

One of the great things about attending SuperCamp is that we provide each student with an established path for personal growth and learning.

Our key areas of focus are:

• • ACADEMIC CONFIDENCE
  • PERSONAL SUCCESS
  • LEADERSHIP
  • SELF-EMPOWERMENT
  • CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
  • FUN!

Ages:  14-18 years

Duration:  6 Day Residential Camp for Students

Dates:  Contact 294-9291 or mirrors@gov.bm for dates

The 8 Keys of Excellence principles to live by are the foundation on which SuperCamp is built. The students are surrounded by reminders of the 8 Keys every day. They’re posted on walls, modeled by staff, and woven into each day’s activities. They create a feeling of community and trust, and a sense of belonging in an open, friendly environment.

The benefits of a SuperCamp program – with the 8 Keys of Excellence at the core—have been noted worldwide. Studies show SuperCamp graduates significantly increase self confidence and motivation, improve their grades, participate more in school, and feel measurably better about themselves.

If the 8 Keys of Excellence was in every school in America and being taught in the homes it would literally transform the country.—Jack Canfield, Author, Chicken Soup for the Soul Series

 

PeerForward is a college and career readiness programme operating in Berkeley Institute and CedarBridge Academy. We empower students to lead their peers to and through higher education.

The best predictor of post-secondary enrollment for first generation college students is whether they have friends who plan on going. The PeerForward model ignites that positive peer influence and prepares students to help themselves and their peers apply to and graduate
from college.

The programmes’ signature summer workshops, curriculum training camps and year round coaching equips Peer Leaders to help their peers with their post-secondary options and foster a culture where everyone continues education after high school. Eight S3 and eight S4 Peer Leaders are enrolled annually by May.

Programme components include: 3-4-Day summer residential camp usually in July followed by the academic year starting in September, fall training camp, spring training camp, college coaching and scholarship application workshops.

Training dates are coordinated with schools at the school leadership meetings in September.
