Chatham is having a fantastic week two! Sad to say that there are only six weeks left to this awesome summer adventure!

It may be a short week, but that doesn't stop the amount of fun & learning going on at Scotch Plains!

Robotics class is back again and campers are loving their vehicle creations more than ever!  They are currently getting ready for a friendly race at the end of the week!

Video game creation is also back this week!  Campers are learning how to create their own 3D games!

We can't forget about wet day either!!   It was the perfect opportunity to cool off on such a hot day!

Caldwell is Back and Ready for Summer '16!

Here at Caldwell, we started off our first week with lots of energy on 4th of July fun!
Our kids were excited to start their, Week 2 classes which were Minecraft Advanced, Film-making, Stop-action film making, and Minecraft Math.

Minecraft Advanced is for the advanced Minecraft lovers who are looking to be challenged in a world of prisms 

Minecraft Math is a class for those who love the creative world of Minecraft and applying their math skills, like solving problems to design and build their own world

Film-making is another class for creative kids who enjoys movies and TV shows of all sorts. They come up with their own plot, assign roles, and act it out

Creations of All Kinds! Paramus Week 2

This week in Paramus, campers are creating real and virtual creations in our WeDo Robotics and Minecraft-themed classes.  Campers as young as five are making fully-functional (yet miniature) carnival-ride robots, while older campers learn to use Minecraft, both as a beginner and a creative engineer.  Lots of fun, teamwork, and new friends on this short week!

Did I mention today was Wet Day?

Ivy at Livingston is heating up!

While it's gotten hot outside, our campers sure know how to stay cool! Wet day couldn't have fallen on a better day this week. Our campers were ecstatic to use water shooters to stay cool. 

Our campers are enjoying some exciting classes this week. The classes include:  Computer Programming Scratch, Fantasy Sports Math, and S.T.E.A.M Rollers. The scratch class has learned a lot so far. They have started programming their own animations, we can't wait to see their final product! A camper from Fantasy Sports Math said "It was so awesome being able to draft my own team and players. We had a $45 million dollar budget. I can't wait to play again tomorrow!" Our innovative scientists had a ball making snow in the 90 degree weather. We can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of the week!!

Lincroft Week 2

Here at International Ivy in Lincroft we are kicking off our camp season. This week we are offering three great classes! We have Minecraft Survival where they are learning all about Minecraft. In Adventure Quest, the campers are learning to work as team. In International Foods, we are taking a trip around the world making dishes from Greece, China, Germany, and many more. Hopefully next week will be just as fun!

Retrogaming @ Far Hills

Hey parents, do you remember that old Atari classic "Breakout"?  You remember don't you... you controlled a paddle back and forth, reflecting a ball into some bricks that would disappear on contact?  Well check out the new version made by our Mobile App Developers here at Far Hills.

This new version is called "Choco-Break".  Destroying bricks is so old school, these developers placed in mini chocolate bars to destroy.  They set different point values to the different types of candy bars resulting in a more compelling game.  Instead of a boring old paddle, the developers used a person holding a spinning umbrella.  It make's things much flashier.   Lastly, instead of a boring brick wall to bounce the ball, the developers added swirling walls that raise the difficulty by distracting the player.  This game has it all besides a plummer with a red hat.  Keep an eye out for the game in the App store soon.

Yes, We are Finally Back! Somerset- Week 2

International Ivy at Somerset is back! The sun is shining and the classes are running! A lot of fun is happening right here and it is only day one! We have AdventureQuest Games in the morning, followed by Web Design and Youngster WeDo Robotics in the afternoon. The best part is that we have already made some friends in our classes.  Also, we are gearing up for WET DAY tomorrow! That's right - dunk tank, water balloons, and water shooters! We are thrilled! Take a look below at just a glimpse into our week.

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.
