At SuperCamp, the learning and life skills academic summer camp for kids 9-18, we
focus on individual’s particular learning styles. Knowing one’s own learning style, or
strengths, can help when it comes time to study for a test. At SuperCamp, we make this
point by telling campers the story of Slim ‘n’ Bil.
Slim ‘n’ Bil are both very smart people – smart in very different ways. Slim ‘n’ Bil both
have a wide range of skills. Whenever they meet, they like to show off their talents to
each other, and practice their skills to build their intelligence in different areas. The
question they ask each other isn’t ‘How smart are you?’ it’s ‘How are you smart?’
When Slim ‘n’ Bil first got together, they realized that their names together spell out each
of the eight different ways that we’re all smart – and they created ways to practice and
improve each area. Check this out:
Everyone is smart in all eight ways, and we may have particular strengths. When you
study, use these strengths to study in a way that will be most effective for you. When
you’re not studying, try out some of these practices to improve the areas you find
challenging. No two people are the same, and we’re all smart. The question is, how are
you smart?
SuperCamp is held at eight beautiful colleges across the U.S. throughout the summer.
Quantum U takes place at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. More information on
our programs is available at www.supercamp.com and www.quantum-u.com.
We also offer a unique 3-day Parent Weekend at which parents of kids in SuperCamp
gain an insight into what their children are learning in their programs. In the process,
parents tell us they learn a lot about themselves, as well. You can view a Parent Weekend
video at www.SuperCamp.com.
