TESTIMONIAL
"Winners' Camp is one of the best investments we made in our son, Koa. The parent day seminar was worth the tuition in itself! Every family can use the tools taught at Winners' Camp to get through the challenging teen years."- Lani Yukimura, Parent ABOUT
 Winners' Camp has 'graduated' over 14,000 participants and over 1,000 support staff. Participants learn to create a positive sense of self-identity through a safe, supportive environment where they break through self-imposed limitations. By regularly setting, meeting, and achieving goals they have a dramatic experience of the exhilaration of "winning." This is winning where the opponent is one's own fears and self-doubts. By conquering challenging outdoor events such as high ropes courses, teenagers learn to recognize their own courage and self-confidence. By repeatedly going beyond what they thought they could do, they learn the joy of reaching their highest potential.
Participants are encouraged to develop concern for others through teamwork and team-building. In "taking a chance" on others - learning to trust - they discover the rich rewards of close and reliable friendships. Instruction in conflict resolution and advanced communication techniques provides them with more useful, workable methods of dealing with problems and challenges.
Participants learn accelerated note-taking, memory training, visualization and creative thinking techniques, and self-management methods. However, the major force in improving grades and academic ability is the development of positive and constructive attitudes about their own capabilities.
