“Thank you for creating a place where an individual can feel at home, can feel safe, and can feel accepted. Thank you for recruiting loving, caring TL's that encourage kids to do their best. And thank you for the wonderful program that provides all of this: SuperCamp.” - David
DavidSunnyvale, CA
“I'd like to formally thank you for the scholarship reward I received. Given my financial situation, without it I might not have been able to attend SuperCamp. To ensure you that the money was well spent, I will share with you my increased knowledge of strategies and overall skills that I gained from SuperCamp.
Before those ten days at San Marcos SuperCamp, I was scared. Scared of failure, and unsure whether to pursue my subjects of interest. Contributing to my intimidation of trying new things was being afraid of looking like a fool. However, my eyes were opened at camp. Because "Failure leads to Success"! If I fail, it's no big deal, that is the best way to learn how to do something. I will continue to emphasize this metaphor: Life is like a maze. It may take a few beeps and buzz's, but once you get there, success will come.”
