Wet Day Fun!

Today was the last Wet Day of the summer for campers here at Summit!  They surely had a blast soaking our counselors during the water fight. Check out the pictures and video below to see all of the fun that they had today during break.

Our campers are learning a lot in their classes this week, too!  We have many wonderful teachers who are helping campers to expand their knowledge of all things technology.  Watch one of our awesome instructors helping his students learn more about Scratch Programming Level 2!

A great hump day over at Livingston week 6!

Campers enjoyed an intense scavenger hunt during our afternoon break today! They excitingly ran through the gym and classrooms with their team to be the first ones to find everything on their list (ranging from rubber chickens to plastic cones).

These three campers worked really hard as a team to complete their hunt in record time, making them the winners!

 

This week the campers in our Vocabulary Building class have made their own vocab trees! Starting the tree with root words like "geo", they would then make stems coming off the tree with words like "geometric" or "geology".

"It was fun. We learned a lot of new words," a camper said.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

Here at Chatham our classes have been particularly great at working as teams in classes and at break time.

Learning to work as a team strengthens not only the lessons being learned in class but friendships as well.  Yesterday we played a new game, "5-4-3-2-1" in which students are asked to spontaneously group themselves in a specific number in order to not get eliminated.  There were groups of all ages working together to problem solve and work to make sure as many children as possible could get into groups.  Here are some pictures!

Check out our flickr page here to see more pictures from the week and to see all the great things the children are working on.  

Olympics Day 3: Wet Day

Blue team is now in the lead with a score of 5 and red is a close second with a score of 3! Wet day was a little different today, we played a water balloon toss and other fun games for the two teams to compete in.
