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.

Collaborative work between the campers has made the designing process much faster.

This camper takes every factor into account when designing the perfect robot. 

This camper works the creative side of her brain by practicing her braiding technique.

You can't break this camper's concentration as he programs his very own robot.

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!

Campers V.S. Counselors

 Campers getting ready to win a game of running bases! The energy and camp spirit was at an all time high today after winning two soccers games yesterday. Games like running bases, soccer, and capture the chicken are a camp favorite and a great way to take a break from classes. 

Kickball Mania at Lincroft

This week at Lincroft, a few enthusiastic returning campers have been requesting Lincroft's all-time favorite pastime: KICKBALL!

Kickball is a game that brings together campers of all ages and talents. As we prepare for rain later in the week, we have been enjoying the fresh air as much as we can!

Campers Bryce and Ian debrief after a particularly controversial play.

Counselor Melissa eyes the plate before throwing a great pitch.

A tense moment as campers Ian and Karan race for first base.

With counselor Melissa as automatic pitcher and instructor Ryan as ghost runner, we make up for our tiny teams with a lot of enthusiasm. There may only be nine of us here at Lincroft, but we play hard!
