Oakl-End 2016

Not to be confused with the second biggest city in the San Francisco bay area, the Oakland, New Jersey location of International Ivy finished off it's sixth week in epic fashion, by ending it all with newly brain trained campers, professional photoshoppers, and some fabulous creations courtesy of the 3D printing class.

Now if only the team was New Jersey based...

3D printing built their own degree of fun this week, as many of the campers worked to create the models of their dreams. Other than pokemon, we had corporate logos, unicorns, and tons of mythical beasts made appearances in the classroom.

The campers got the most out of the printer this week, pumping out pokemon after pokemon, as well as the occasional star. 

"Give me a random pokemon between #1 and #721, quick, the printer is free!"

Graphic Design finished off their week by working on some professional creations, like removing fences from existing pictures of horses, or making their own beasts out of parts of different animals. All of the kids had a blast while working on their project. 

These campers begin to create the animals of their dreams, or nightmares for that matter.

The designers of the future, learning in the now.

Brain Training students reached a whole new level of intelligence this week, utilizing games and memorization training exercises to keep students sharp before school begins again in just a few weeks. The classroom was always a competitive environment, as these brain games challenged each one of our campers.

A break in the action as these campers relax from the brain exercises.

This was Counselor Josh's face when he lost a board game to his camper.

Break Games this week were a fun runthrough of all the shelved ideas and unused materials from the camp so far. There were some good times for all.

The weird inflatable donut thing finally found a use for an obstacle course!

The paper plane contest had the campers cooking up new designs.

Rocks, Paper, or Scissors? The age old question.

It's sad leaving Oakland now, but we'll always remember the memories from the Sports House!

Until Next Year,

Oakland Staff
