This week our campers participated in our theme Thursday- Halloween in July.  The counselors and teachers dressed as a group of tourists and we were all excited to see our super creative camper costumes!

Halloween in July

Chatham Week 3

Warm weather, beaches, sunshine, and summer camp aren't usually associated with Halloween, but that's because you've never spent Halloween with International Ivy. Our students rolled up to camp sporting the spookiest, scariest, silliest and most striking costumes they could find. From Spider Man, to red riding hood, to mad scientists, to a group of friendly counselor sharks, almost every camper in Chatham dressed up for the holiday. Check out our photos and videos of Holiday Fun at Ivy!

On this Theme Thursday, we had some crazy costumes on the Upper West Side!


From a chef, dancer, headless man, and a Hogwarts student our Theme Thursday was a wild time! 

Surviving and Designing in Paramus!

Campers are enjoying completing challenges with their classmates in Minecraft Advanced! They've explored various mods and even visited survivor island!






Other campers dove deep into the details of mobile app design! They've strung sequences of code together and will test their apps on an Android tablet!
