Brain Camp is offered each week (Mon-Thu am) in August at various Seattle locations.

The course is designed for students entering Grades 7-12, and open to kids from any school.

As students move through middle and high school, they need effective study skills to handle the increasing expectations at each grade level.

Most secondary teachers assume that incoming students have mastered the study and organizational skills required to stay on top of their workload.

But, as many schools have little resources or time available for thorough study skills instruction, it's up to each student to take responsibility for their own learning and academic success.

At Brain Camp, our goal is to empower students to become resourceful, reliable and resilient learners.

Using the latest scientific research on the brain and best-practice models of instruction and learning acquired over twenty years of teaching, we have created the unique Brain Camp program.

Since 2007, thousands of students have participated and seen significant skills improvement. To see what people are saying, visit our Testimonials page.

If kids know how to learn, what they learn becomes easier and they become more confident and successful!

Brain Camp starts out with a series of fun diagnostic activities to uncover each student’s natural learning style.

We are all mentally hardwired with favorite ways to study. Since we can’t change the way our brains work - the most productive solution is to find brain-compatible strategies that build on our strengths.

This self-knowledge helps students make smarter choices about how, when and where to work, to achieve the best results.

Equipped with this valuable insight, students move on to actively explore, apply and evaluate a wide range of learning techniques.

Learning is the result of all the little things people do to increase their knowledge and know-how.

Most students have a very limited repertoire of study strategies and rely on the same old techniques for all their work. At Brain Camp, students experiment with a wide array of new options and become more resourceful.

Brain Camp promotes elaborate rehearsal learning techniques as opposed to more common and highly ineffective rote rehearsal.



Rote rehearsal (repeating information over and over) is primarily auditory, the least effective input strategy for most people, and the most unreliable way to remember.

Elaborate rehearsal requires involvement and significantly increases recall. It encourages right brain engagement to do something creative with the information.

Engaging hands-on activities help students explore each technique using their individual learning styles and creativity.

Students decide which study strategies are “the right fit” and can be relied upon to improve their performance - creating their own personalized study skills tool-kit.
