Camp Super Duper began 10 short years ago as, what was then called Super Duper Arts Camp. It began in one room, with 10 kids and 2 Super Duper folks with a passion for the arts. And it was awesome.
Over the years, Sup Dup (as we call it) has continually grown and evolved into much more than an arts camp.
Along the way, we’ve collected a kaleidoscopic team of magical & amazing people, a unique set of quirky traditions, customs and rituals (can you say Aaaarmpits!) and a distinct, one-of-a-kind, heart-centered culture that can only be described as… well, Super Duper.
At Camp Super Duper, our mission is to protect the sacred institution of childhood and to nurture the magical, care-free feeling of just being a kid, while providing opportunities and experiences that facilitate the development of the whole child as a unique individual, cognitively, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
We believe that life is all about relationships, all about connection. At the end (and beginning) of the day, it is our fundamental drive towards connection that is at the core of what motivates, inspires, and fulfills us. It is what makes us human.
Camp is ultimately about relationships, connection & growth. That’s why the cornerstone of our program is our People.
After all, camp is just a place and a schedule without the amazing people who foster connection and make it fun, safe, enriching, uplifting and memorable.
That’s why we are downright obsessive about finding and hiring the right people.
For us, the “right people” means…
The kind of people we want our campers to learn from and be like. People who inspire and are inspired. People who are passionate about life and compassionate towards others. People who are mindful of the power of their actions and their words. People who are loving, kind, nurturing, wacky, fun, quirky, unique, not afraid to shine and be seen.
We also search for those rare folks who not only possess that one-of-a-kind spark, but also have the professional background to match.
This means we hire mature, experienced adults who each bring a unique essence and distinct set of professional credentials to the team.
Our team members come from a wide variety of backgrounds (education, social work, psychology, anthropology, spiritual studies, media production, arts, and camp, just to name a few).
But at their core, every person on the Camp Super Duper team is a teacher, a leader, and a loving, kind-hearted, sparkly soul with something to unique and special to give.
That’s what makes them… Sup Dup!
(They are also thoroughly screened, background-checked, first-aid certified and Sup Dup trained!)
