Berkeley Summer Camps

SuperCamp is the summer enrichment program that parents and kids love! Now in our 31st year and with over 60,000 graduates worldwide, we'll give your son or daughter the skills, added confidence, motivation and character direction to flourish. SuperCamp can give your son or daughter an academic and personal edge at its exciting 7-10 day academic summer programs held on prestigious university campuses worldwide.

All programs promote an "I can do it" atmosphere in which learning occurs without stress and frustration. Music, games and an attitude of celebration throughout the program make the learning process fun and easy and help students reach beyond the boundaries set by themselves and others. Life-skills courses such as Communication, Problem Solving and an Outdoor Adventure Day develop self-confidence and increase motivation. The learning skills and strategies acquired in courses such as Working Magic With Your Brain (Memory), Write Like a Pro, The Power to Read Your Best, Note Taking and Test Preparation give students an edge in all subjects.

Since 1999 over 130,000 students worldwide have immersed in hands-on learning to create iPhone apps, programs with C++ and Java, video games, websites, movies, 3D models, ad designs, robots, films, and photos. Beginner to advanced students ages 7-17 enroll in these fun and challenging, weeklong, day and overnight summer camps held at 60 prestigious universities nationwide (see below).

SIG at University of California, Berkeley, provides academically advanced students ages 9-17 with an exciting and challenging educational experience.

The program combines remarkable academic courses with cultural, social, and recreational opportunities. The academic program is central to the design and purpose of SIG. Our programs provide students with academic challenges designed to fit their abilities and interests. It also provides them with the opportunity to engage with other students who have similar abilities and interests. Because of our small classes, low teacher-student ratio, and the presence of an assistant in every class, we are able to individualize the program for each and every student.

The richness of a broad range of geographical, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, the stimulation created by talented and intellectually engaged students working and playing together, the depth and diversity of the SIG faculty and staff, and the beautiful and well-equipped college campus environments create a perfect atmosphere for learning, growing and accomplishing meaningful goals.
