Oakland's Great Big Sportsball Celebration of Sports Day

Humanity's inherent fascination with contests of athletic skill came to fruition as today was Sports Day. Campers got the chance to wear their favorite sports-themed clothing and played sports-based games ranging from kickball to 4-square.

I guess even going 0-16 is good enough for Josh to be a fan of your franchise!
Athletic achievements weren't the only kind of achievements today, as many of the campers also excelled academically.

The week wraps up tomorrow, and here in Oakland, we're looking forward to more time well spent!


The Minecraft Fun Never Ends at Caldwell - Week 5

The Minecraft fun never ends at Caldwell! 
This week we have two Minecraft classes. There is Minecraft Advanced in the morning and Minecraft Creative in the afternoon. Minecraft classes of all variety tend to be our campers favorite and most populated classes. They like it because it is fun, creative, promotes teamwork with their friends, and, in the words of a few campers, "we get to blow things up"! 
Check it out!

Sports Day at Short Hills!

Hut hut hike! Short Hills campers came in their favorite sports gear today which was perfect for break time when we played games like football and handball.

Some campers finished their robots earlier and were able to race/fight each other!

Sports Day at Somerset! Week 5

Today's Theme Thursday happens to be Sports Day! Students were encouraged to wear a sports jersey/uniform/t-shirt. We were so happy to see a lot of different players wearing their favorite sports jersey today! Good job, Somerset!


Scratch Programming Level 1 at Summit!

Here at Summit, our campers are hard at work on the games they are creating in Scratch Programming Level 1.  They are even having some fun while doing it!  Campers are creating their own unique games complete with titles and graphics that they have designed themselves!  

This camper titled her game 'Hoptropica' after the popular website Poptropica.
Making friends in class is great!


Coming at you LIVE! During Week 5 at Livingston

We've had a very busy week here at Livingston. Our campers have been enjoying their classes.One class they haven't been able to stop talking about is AdventureQuest Leadership Games. The children have been playing many fun and exciting games that require them to use their imagination and thinking skills. They cooperate with their peers and gain leadership abilities while completing the engaging activities.

Here is a picture of some of the Leadership Games students working hard in their classroom.
