Last Monday @ Caldwell

Break time consisted of scavenger hunts! 

In the morning, the campers were broken into pairs and given a list of questions to ask the counselors in order to get to know them.The only catch was that they were only able to use "yes or no" questions to match the question to each counselor. The pair to answer and match all the questions to the correct counselor won the game and an Ivy Point!

Campers are racing to ask their questions a fast as they can!

Campers are thinking of ways to ask the counselors new "yes or no" questions.

The afternoon Sticky Science class began by learning and investigating their instruments.

Using small glass pyramids, they were able to see rainbows when looking through them at different angles. 

The afternoon Youngsters: Left Brain class was full of energy and excitement to learn new things!

They began the class with introductions and moved onto Lego building which was their favorite part.

 Eesha was so excited to make a crocodile in Lego Robotics when she jumped in the car she exclaimed, "that was so awesome!" and proceeded to tell her mom all about her day.

 The magicians were very busy learning new tricks in magic class today. They learned multiple card tricks and were excited to learn that coming up in the week is a crazy rope trick!

At break campers participated in a "getting-to-know-you scavenger hunt". During the first break, campers answered a questionnaire about the counselors and site director and in the afternoon they asked other campers questions. This was a great activity that allowed campers to get to know each other and the counselors. 

Welcome to Ringwood!!

We are half way through our first day here in Ringwood! This is our one and only week here this year, but with as much fun as we have we all know it'll be busier next year! Our class this week is Robotics vehicles. So far, we have already made a vehicle and are working on learning the programming part of it. During break we completed a scavenger hunt by walking throughout the school and asking each other various questions. Here is a picture of our group this week hard at work! Check out our Flickr and Youtube links throughout the week to see everything else we do :)

Far Hills Week 7: The First Day of the Final Week

Is it the last week already?! Time really does fly when you're having fun, and over at Far Hills we have the best week of classes! Debate, Robotics, Bio-medical Engineering, Java Programming, Scratch Programming, and Language Arts Boot Camp! Have you ever seem so many cool classes in one place?! Take a look at a few pictures of our first day:

A camper showing off his first robot of the week.

This robot can roll around and sense when it's time to change directions.

Today's first debate topic was on capital punishment. Some great points were made for both sides.

For the last ten minutes of class, the teacher let the students debate on whether or not Justin Bieber was a good role model. Talk about a nice way to lighten the mood after talking about capital punishment.

You'll never see a more focused class than Java Programming.

In Bio-medical Engineerings, campers got to hang out on the couch as they learned the basics behind a knee-brace.

Language Arts Boot Camp isn't as tough as it sounds. Campers get to read Charlotte's Web and then get to finish off the week by watching the movie on Friday! 

Short Hills Week 7 - Fencing

The final four. These campers all were winners in our fencing tournament.
