Tuesday @ Caldwell!

It was a rainy Tuesday at Caldwell today, but that did not stop the fun at break time or in class!

Last Week at Scotch Plains :(

The summer might be coming to an end but we are enjoying every last second of it here at Scotch Plains.  Seven weeks have passed too quickly and we are sad to say goodbye to camp until next year. We have made incredible memories over the past two months and can't wait for more next summer. Until then, here's to a great last week of camp!


Campers are participating in Brain Training, Debate, Java Programming 2, and Lemonade Stand Entrepreneur this week.  

In Java Programming 2, campers are creating a mod for the game Minecraft using Java code. There's no doubt that campers love playing Minecraft, but in this class they get to design their own mod for it!  How awesome!  These guys are hard at work writing the code for their own unique Minecraft mod.


Lemonade Stand Entrepreneur is a blast as well!  Campers are working in teams to make and test their own lemonade flavors.  Once teams decide on the best flavor they will give it a name and sell it at a lemonade stand to the whole camp!  Check back on Friday for the winning team.  In the meantime, check out these pictures of campers mixing and trying their flavors.  Yum, yum!

Somerset Speaks Out
Week 7

We are ending our camp season with some great classes. This week we have Minecraft Math, Brain Training, and Public Speaking. All the campers are having a great time. This morning in Public Speaking class, campers were tackling hard topics and giving their opinions based on how they feel about a topic. Here is clip of one of the topics: Should police be in schools?
