Teen Boot Camp for Boys and Girls with Video Game Addiction San Antonio

If you are searching for a boot camp for boys or a boot camp for girls with video game or computer / internet / smartphone overuse issues, you have found the right place. We are a behavior change program focused on helping young people re-discover who they really are.

Along with a fun and motivating camp experience, families receive:

• A parent workshop to ensure parents have the tools necessary to support campers back home.
• Aftercare services to ensure the momentum is continued forward after discharge.

All of our camps are on university campuses.  We believe this is the perfect setting to motivate and inspire young people to change and focus on the future.

San Antonio Cell Phone / Smartphone Addiction Treatment for Social Media Overuse

Adolescents and teens today are interacting through their smartphones more than ever.  Simply put, if your child depends on you to tell them to put their device down, they are headed for disaster when they leave home after high school.  If your child wants to attend college, what are their chances of success if they have not learned the skills to self-regulate their electronics use?

About half of college freshmen will ever receive a diploma.  A small investment now in Summerland Camps will help your child learn the skills they need to successfully manage their technology use.

Structure is critical when it comes to college preparation.  Adolescents and teens that have focused on screen activity have lost opportunities to develop structure and habits to become successful.  Social opportunities may have also been missed.  Our camp provides for these missed opportunities by teaching the skills young people need to live life in balance with electronics.

San Antonio Boot Camp for Technology Addiction and Video Games

Summerland Camps are habit formation camps based on university campuses.  Our goal is to be fun, uplifting, and to inspire your child to make changes in their technology use habits.

We provide campers with the education, tools, and support they need to make the right decision about their daily habits.  Families often enroll in Summerland Camps after searching for:

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. ~Swami Vivekananda
