Our Campers are going GAGA for Princeton Week 2

Week TWO may be a shorter week due to the 4th of July but our campers are wasting no time making friends and diving into their classes! Mobile App Design has six amazing kids here for full days and Creative Writing Workshop has three wonderful campers here in the afternoon!

Right from Tuesday morning our Mobile App campers were becoming "best friends" as they said at break! By the end of morning session that had all assigned one another clever nicknames and had inside jokes.

O! O! O! We know the answer!! Pick Me!

Creative Writing Workshop began our week discussing metaphors and sharing our heart maps -- signaling the most important things within our hearts and our fears / dislikes on the outside. We use these maps to brainstorm and draw inspiration for our short stories.

Morning and afternoon break consist of campers going GAGA over the game Gaga Ball! It has been a fan favorite all week any time the weather has been nice.

Princeton Week 1,our wacky week comes to an end!

Hard to believe that Week ONE is already over, that flew by! Our campers got really into their stock market portfolios, trying to see who could earn the most money (and beat teacher Nicole!)!

Brain Training continued to flex their brain muscles with games, challenges, and brain teasers!

Our campers spent a great week together, we had wonderful weather and amazing company!

On Friday campers shared with each other a little bit about what they had learned during their session!

Our camera shy campers in Brain Training preferred to share without the pressure of being filmed, so parents ask them to tell you at home!!

Thank you campers for a wonderful week here in Princeton! We hope to see you again soon!

Princeton Week 1: Campers are Invested in their Brains!

"Investment Literacy and Stock Market Game" and "Brain Training" are off to a great start here at the Chapin School in Princeton. Our afternoon sessions may only have a handful of campers this week but they sure do bring a lot of enthusiasm and fun!


Investment Literacy started off with a general overview of the economy, the different phases and cycles, as well as key vocabulary. By Wednesday these campers are researching potential stocks and preparing for their investments when the Market opens tomorrow!

Brain training has been working hard to learn valuable study skills and engaging their minds in different academic games. They have been working hard to memorize the Presidents in order and will present this by the end of the week to the other campers!

WEDNESDAY IS WATER DAY!!! Of course this was a huge success and a great way to keep cool on this HOT HOT HOT June afternoon! The campers had an opportunity to dunk our counselor Ivan, as well as each other, in the dunk tank. We also had a water balloon toss which quickly turned into an all out water war!
