LEVELS
  • Camp Team Leaders  (CTLs) are amazing leaders and they lead by example. They organize and orchestrate fun camp activities. They support members of the SUPERKIDS™ Academic Coaches, who make up the Camp’s magnificent faculty. CTLs’ main and foremost responsibility is to keep all campers safe. CTLs keep the camp running smoothly so that Camp Faculty can concentrate on sharing the Gift of Knowledge with our special SUPERKIDS™ CAMPERS. Last, but not least, CTLs take ownership and they will do whatever they can to make the Camp a safe & fun learning environment for everyone. In essence, they are proud to be a Camp Team Leader at SUPERKIDS™ CAMP!
​
  • CTL-In-Training  (CTLT) are basically behavior, safety and fun monitors. They assist CTLs in fulfilling their duties. They learn different skills of leadership, patience and working with young children. CTLTs take their duties seriously. They are important in the smooth running of the Camp. CTLTs are also appreciative of the opportunity to serve and do their best as leaders in training!
