Creative Ways to Play with Board Games

The Short Hills campers explored some new ways to play with their standard board games. Instead of playing "boring" chess and jumbling tower, these creative campers decided to construct their own empire! Even when we are not in class, our creative minds are at work!


Shark Week Fever Hits Short Hills!


Its Shark Week and a bunch of our Short Hills campers are excited. Our campers walked in to camp this morning ready to express their love of sharks. Some even dressed the part!

Somerset's Smart Surgeons

Somerset Week 5

There have been many fun and exciting things going on in our Anatomy and Surgical Techniques class with Jaclyn this week. The class surgeons have been working hard and experiencing what it's like to become a surgeon. On Tuesday, the students learned about the brain, made their own brain hat, and dissected a sheep's brain! There has been a lot of positive buzz about this fan favorite class. The surgeons are eagerly looking forward to the frog dissection on Friday!

Paint and W(h)ine Day in Summit!

Today our artists worked on their masterpieces as they sipped on a refreshing cup of grape juice following an exhausting game of capture the chicken! These underwater canvases demonstrate incredible depth and creativity; we truly have a couple Picassos in the making! 


Our campers are always our first priority, sacrificing our clip boards to keep our little ones dry!

When in doubt, dance it out! A few of our campers bust a move in Scratch class, showing off their signature 'step and clap' as well and 'spin dab' moves. We discover new camper talents every day!

Drone Programming in Oakland!



In our Drone Programming class, our campers are learning how to write computer codes to control their drones. During this week, they built their drone controllers, learned how to lift their drones off of the ground, and made it flip over. Today, the campers learned how to play music out of the drone's controller as it prepared for flight. They are looking forward to learning more codes as the week progresses!
