Culinary Arts is baking up some tasty treats at Princeton!!
Our pastry chefs are decorating up a storm here at Princeton in week 7!! These ladies have been learning how to fill a piping bag and properly decorate cupcakes and cookies. Monday they made strawberry shortcakes and chessmen cookies while Tuesday they decorated their cupcakes with unique themes! Can't wait to see what other amazing and delicious treats they have in store for us this week!!!
Chatham's Youngsters are Hard at Work
This week, some of the youngest campers in Chatham have been spending their time training their brains and hunting for treasure in a selection of 3 different youngster classes. Activities have ranged from building robots, to precision golfing, to strolling and taking pictures outside. Left Brain Mix, Right Brain Mix, and Treasure Hunt make for an awesome (and noisy) week here in Chatham, and we can't wait to see what they'll be creating in what remains of these classes.

We love wet day at Short Hills!
Another wet and fabulous Wednesday here at Short Hills. Luckily the storm passed and we had clear and sunny skies for both breaks. We are so sad that there is only one wet day left!

Stop, Minecraft Time! Somerset - Week 7
Although it is our final week at Somerset, our students are having a blast! One fan favorite class is Minecraft Creative - Finding the Engineer in You. All of the kids are completely focused during the whole class. Some do not want to go outside during break because they want to keep playing their favorite game! The whole class communicates and works together in order to build their dream homes. We love the enthusiasm our students have for this class!
