The first time I came to camp was as a Team Leader and I remember walking into the main room for the first time and seeing the affirmations on the walls and seeing the colours and the space and thinking “What an incredible environment for a group of young people to explore more about themselves!” I just wanted more and becoming a Facilitator kind of seemed like the next step for me. I’m a High School Teacher and hanging out with young people is what I do every single day of my life and I just couldn’t imagine a better place to spend my holidays than to continue hanging out with young people and helping them step into the best versions of themselves.
There’s so much about camp that I love. We teach a whole bunch of different academics from Quantum Strategies, Quantum Reading, and Quantum Writing, and all of these skills can be applied in any classroom no matter what that looks like. I think as a teacher I understand in our education system currently, we’re not necessarily catering as well as we could for every single child that we have entering the room. Teachers are doing their absolute best with what our system allows, but if we can empower our young people to take responsibility for themselves and their learning then w are setting them up for success. What SuperCamp does is prepare each of our young people, that regardless of who their teacher is or what the subject might be, they can take these skills and use them in order to get their best outcomes and be the best versions of themselves within their classroom context no matter the school they attend.
I know what we are doing here is making a difference and if one person leaves this program empowered and ready to step into who they are well they might be our next Prime Minister! We don’t know and I think that’s really special in itself.
