Pumped About Python

Programming has taken over Scotch Plains this week! Campers are learning all about coding, particularly using Python...

Check out our YouTube channel for more videos about programming using Python, Java, and the difference between the two. Happy Coding!

Short Hills Pirate Day!

Arrrrrrr counselors here at Short Hills really got into the pirate spirit! 

Fantastically Plastic-y!

Whether it's with a 3D Printer or from scratch, Paramus campers are learning and having fun creating with plastic!

Our 3D Printers have cranked out model towers, keychains, and even a personalized Xbox controller cover!  The students have enjoyed learning 3D designing principles using TinkerCad, an online design platform. The better a design can be built through layering, the more efficient the printer can create it.

In Chemical Engineering, the students used simple ingredients to make their own plastic from scratch! Just let these two campers explain the process to you ....

We're looking forward to Friday when all campers will show off what they've done in our Friday Showcase! Check out all the videos, pictures, and more at iisummer.com/media!

Mismatch Day in Chatham

Chatham Week 5

Things got a little silly today in Chatham. Our students showed up to camp in mismatched clothes, wearing different socks, shoes and patterns as a part of our Thursday theme day. Some of these campers got to show off their zany outfits for the camera. Theme days are always fun in Chatham!

Diners, Drive-ins and International Ivy

Chatham Week 5

Today the campers of International Ivy took a trip to Flavortown in the culinary arts and cooking class. This week they have made cookies, cupcakes, pizza, pasta, tacos, quesadillas and brownies, and each dish has been better than the last. Some have said our camper's meals taste like "angels singing".  We're even thinking of opening up our own restaurant here in Chatham which is sure to be off the hook, brother. 

Campers cooking up some fun.

The pizza is looking good!
