What I love about Ivy!

Campers write what they love about camp, including their favorite teachers, classes, and counselors.

Oakland's End of the Week Crazy Bonanza Bash

Up north, we like to end out weeks with a bang rather than a whimper. This week proved no different, as week 3 in Oakland ended just how it began, in spectacular fashion.

This group of campers was getting antsy to play 4-Square, the game of kings. 

A blockbuster film typically takes years, but this Oscar-bait picture will be hitting a theater near you.

This camper develops his mobile app after a playtest from his teacher.

"Will this picture end up on the website?" 

"WHOA, IS THAT HOW MUCH FUN I HAD THIS WEEK?"

Week 3 will be remembered fondly, but now, we must move on to week 4. The fun times will continue to roll.

Wet and wild Friday at Livingston Week 3!

After having a bear on the premises on Wednesday, wet day was moved to Friday! Campers were so excited that they got to end their wonderful week running around the field and soaking each other with water balloons! 

  Bored of the balloon toss, they just decided to start their own water balloon fight (boys versus girls of course). 

Some campers even brought in their own super soakers in order to get their friends extra soaked. 

After such a fun week we will definitely be missing the campers that are leaving us, but we are so excited to welcome our new campers that will be joining us for week 4 of camp at Livingston! Can't wait for another fun week!! 

Princeton Week 3 is full of gamers!

As our week here at Princeton comes to an end, the classes had a great opportunity to try out the various games each camper created! We spent the morning session showcasing and sharing our video game creations to see who customized the tutorial games the best and who had the most fun individual games! The campers all had a great time trying out the creations and competing for highest scores!

We had a great sleepover @ Far Hillz

Rise and shine everyone, and Happy Friday.  In case you missed it, on Thursday we had a Pajama Party Sleepover at Far Hills.  Campers wore their favorite "jammies" to camp and even some brought a friend.  It was great to see kids having a great time all while being comfortable and stylish.  I can't wait for the sleepover next year.

From the Students! Ending Week 3 in Somerset.

It is hard to believe that Week 3 is already ending. Many of our campers have told us that they had a great week in their classes. Luckily, most of our students will be returning in the future weeks! We spoke with a few students and here is what they had to say.

"I loved it here!"
"Scratch is fun."
"Of my two classes, Acting for the Stage is the best!"
"Java Programming is challenging, but I like it."

International Ivy is the BEST!

Perfecting their Performances - Somerset Week 3

Students in Acting for the Stage and Public Speaking have been working hard this week trying to perfect their stage appearance. On Friday, both classes will be presenting in front of an audience to demonstrate the skills they have learned. Take a sneak peak into their classes. We are so excited to see their performances on Friday!

Such a fun week 3 over at Livingston!

Campers are enjoying the giant Connect 4 game thats new this week! During breaks they compete in tournaments and love earning Ivy points when their team wins!

Also when campers want a more relaxing break, they all huddle around and start their very intense game of Uno! 

While the campers do enjoy their break time, they are also having loads of fun in their classes! The Crazy Chemworks kids could not stop showing off the slime they had made, and the Creative Needle Arts students now have comfy pillow that they stitched up themselves! 

Campers are so excited to trade in their Ivy points for a new toy out of the Treasure Chest at the end of the week! 

Website Design at Lincroft

This morning, two campers from Website Design got a chance to present their very own websites to their friends in Robotics. After working hard all week to create their own original sites, campers TJ and Mala each had the opportunity to show off a personalized page dedicated to whatever they are most passionate about.

TJ's site showcased his love of gaming, including the story of how he first became interested in video games, a long list of Roblox cheat codes (Roblox is his ultimate favorite game!), and descriptions of his favorite classic games.

Mala's site focused on her passion for baking and a book of recipes, Nerdy Nummies, written by her favorite YouTube star, Rosanna Pansino. Everyone in the audience was drooling as Mala shared one of Rosanna's most recent recipes: a homemade Pokemon waffle cone!

We are so proud of Mala and TJ and can't wait to see their classmate Roland present his baseball-themed site tomorrow!
