What People Say About Brain Camp

Students

“Brain Camp is a program that teaches you a stress relieving way to study. It’s good – I learned some useful tricks for remembering material, taking notes and how to manage my time better.” – Sarah S.


“It is awesome & it works! Brain Camp helps improve all aspects of learning – memorization, how my brain works, organization, notes and test taking.” – B. Snyder


“A great learning experience that not only will help you now but in later life. It’s interesting with lots of useful information. I learned valuable techniques to keep me organized and manage various projects.” – Gail L.


“I’d describe Brain Camp as a Mind Helper that gives you tips on how to study better and do well in school. It was awesome!” – Dean K.


“It showed me what kind of learner I am, how to study more effectively and remember all the info. It was really fun, too!” – Taylor S.


“It’s not just any camp – it really helps and shows you short cuts and solutions.” – Spencer


“Helps a lot. My grades all went up a letter, which is good.” – C. Richardson

Parents

“Brain Camp was a big turning point for my daughter, and her teachers tell me she is off to a great start this year. She is much more organized and self-motivated to get her homework done. It was the impetus for some much needed changes. Thanks again.” – Cathy H.


“Wow! Thank you very much. My son has often placed academics at the bottom of his priority list, but your course gave him the jumpstart that put him into a learning frame of mind. It also gave him some self-awareness about his learning style and he actually bought dividers and pocket folders to help with organization. He’s determined to succeed.” – Mary B


“I wanted to thank you for your thorough and interesting August Brain Camp. My son wasn’t too keen on going back to school early, but was happy every day when I picked him up from your class. He said he learned study and organization strategies from his instructor that he knew he could apply as soon as school started. And he already has – what a relief for his dad and me!” E. Carter


“Thanks for taking the time for the parent meeting. I learned a lot of things I can do to help Rachel. She has been reluctant to accept my help, but now seems more receptive.” – Jim R.


“My daughter took your program last summer and found it to be educational, confidence building, and most of all fun. Her enthusiasm toward this new school year has already shown the positive effects. I certainly plan to recommend this camp to other parents.” – M. Bane


“Just wanted you to know that Jenny and Jon are putting the tools they learned in your summer program to good use. They’ve needed no prodding from us in putting these practices to use. At parent’s night, their teachers cited techniques learned at the camp that are apparently bearing fruit. We appreciate your help and are convinced this was time well spent.” – D.W. Martin



School Professionals

"Many of our junior and senior high students have attended Brain Camp over the past two years so we have seen first-hand the difference it has made in students’ whole approach to school.  Students are more organized.  They study more skillfully, they read with a purpose and their note-taking makes sense!  Students are excited about their experience as they learn many valuable things about themselves and how they learn.  They understand their strengths, weaknesses and what they ought to do to ensure they are doing their best.

The Brain Camp program has made a significantly positive impact on those who have taken the course and has shaped our future planning for strengthening our entire student body’s study skills.  We highly recommend it to any student and school!  This is a difference maker!"

"I would like to acknowledge how enthused I have been with the great success of the Brain Camp study skills classes we have been offering through our school district’s community education program.  Brain Camp goes far beyond the study skills workshops and classes typically offered to students.

Brain Camp has empowered students to take advantage of their own unique learning styles and that has made a huge, positive difference in both their attitude and success in school…Thanks for creating an exciting study skills program that maintains a high level of interest and success for students while at the same time providing a high degree of parent involvement."
