Is There a Doctor in the House? Edison Week 8
Anatomy and Surgical Techniques is a brand new class this week and it is already so popular! The students in this class have been doing hands-on anatomy surgeries and techniques, including dissecting a sheep's brain, creating their own brain hat, and suturing a banana. Look at the fun that is being had right now!
3, 2, 1, ACTION! Live from Edison Week 8
This week, we have two great classes: Animation Movie Making in the morning and Film Making in the afternoon. Students who are taking these classes are learning how to make their own movies, follow a script, and incorporate props. Check out what the students are doing so far.

Last Day at Ringwood
Is it just us or did this week fly by?! At least we had a lot of fun packed into these short five days. Robotics proved once again to be incredibly fun.
A Look Into Our Week:
Monday: we made a basic robot which we programmed to move around a box and out the door.
Tuesday: we made a robot that followed a line using a light sensor.
Wednesday and Thursday: we worked in teams to make a racecar that we raced on Thursday!
Friday: we made a SumoBot and battled to see whose SumoBot could kick everyone out of the arena.
Let's not forget our break activities! Monday we had fun going on a scavenger hunt around our building and learning things about each other. Tuesday, we all tested our skills playing a Minute to Win It game called "Stack Attack" (it's harder than it looks!!). Wednesday we enjoyed the nice weather and got soaked during Wet Day. Thursday, we had an engineer, detective, gymnast, and hockey player show up to our class! On our last day, we had a blast by ending the week with tie dye!
It's been so much fun here in Ringwood and we're sad to see it end so soon. We'll be back next year which gives us something to look forward too! Check out all our fun on our Flickr and Youtube accounts!

Slowwww Down and Enjoying the Last Day @ Caldwell
Break time has been a blast for all the campers this summer,
but today was especially full of cool talents, dancing and memories!
So today, we decided to slow down and enjoy the last few moments at International Ivy: Caldwell.
Take a look:

End of Camp Fun!
It's officially the last day of camp here at Scotch Plains and we are sad that our time here is coming to an end. This week has been a great end to the summer and we can't wait for more fun next year. Our campers have learned a great deal in their classes and have made friends and memories along the way. The first year at Scotch Plains turned out to be a huge success and was definitely a summer to remember.
Wednesday was our final Wet Day of the summer and the water fight was epic. Check out this picture of our campers and counselor in action!
On Thursday campers participated in Future Me Day. Many dressed up as their future professions with some funny costumes too. She's gonna be a rock star!
Today, campers in Lemonade Stand Entrepreneur are hosting an actual stand at break. They will be selling their lemonade to the rest of the camp who will give feedback on each team's flavor. Then, campers will discuss which team had the best feedback and profit. They will be declared the winners! Here's a poster that campers hung up in our classrooms to advertise their sale today. Wish them luck! We can't wait to taste all the yummy flavors. We've got some future entrepreneurs on our hands!
We can't thank all of our campers and counselors enough for such a great summer. Until 2016!!

Far Hills Week 7: The Last Camp Hero
After our commercial last week, the staff at Far Hills wanted to think of more ways to promote the great classes offered at International Ivy. We reached out to one of our campers who has been with us for all seven weeks and also took the film making class. He became the star of our video playing a camper who is overwhelmed by all of the class options International Ivy has to offer. Take a look.
Somerset Bids Farewell to their Counselor
Week 7
If their is one thing that everyone agreed on this summer it was that our counselor Andrew was the best. He made everything fun and was always laughing. Soccer and Pictionary were his favorite break activities and lunch wasn't complete without hot sauce! We enjoyed it when you taught Civil Engineering, Biomedical Engineering. and Video Game Creation! We learned so much. Our campers will truly miss the counselor they had all summer. We wish you well and good luck at Duke!
