Ivy Summer Comes to a Close in Chatham

Chatham Week 6

Chatham decided to end the summer with style. On the last day of camp our campers got to throw pies at their favorite counselors, and the counselors then returned the favor. To cap it all off we brought wet day out of retirement and went wild for the last few moments of camp. The Chatham Team hopes all our campers left International Ivy with new friends, great experiences and fond memories. We'll miss all our campers and want to wish everyone a great rest of the summer. We hope to see you all again next year!

Color Wars Comes to an End - Somerset Week 6

This week, Somerset had a Color Wars battle! We were excited to see many campers participating with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. The Red and Blue teams faced each other in friendly competitions throughout the week. In the morning, the Red team was declared the winner, and in the afternoon, the Blue team was the winner. We are so excited that our campers had fun in these events, while also showing they had great sportsmanship. During the week, campers participated in team building challenges, relay races, soccer, a game called "infection," and SPUD.  Finally, our campers wore their International Ivy t-shirt today, which made for a great end to our Color Wars by showing their team and camp spirit!

Oakland has a Werewolf Problem!

This week in Oakland has been a fantastic mixture between Creative Writings, Science Classes, and learning Python! But, nothing beats our intense sessions of Werewolf during break!

Students created a wide variety of stories, from anime stories to their renditions of old classic fairy-tales and beyond! Students also designed their own structures and bridges, how to code in Python, and how to make plastics and their effect on the environment!

Thanks for a wonderful week and we hope to see you soon!

We Mustache You Some Questions...

It's Mustache Day in Scotch Plains and we cannot stop laughing! Our teachers and campers really got in the spirit. Whether you have a Monopoly man stache, tough guy stache, curly stache, or pirate stache, toss out those razors and rock it! 😀

Oakland's Builders Only Club

So far the week is off to a fabulous start!

This week in Oakland we have a very serious group of Civil Engineers who are working hard to create bridges and buildings that can withstand a variety of weights and natural disasters. Our engineers have successfully completed a wide variety of tests and their knowledge on the topic is excelling beyond our predicted calculations! Keep up the hard work!

 Students are building structures to withstand the shake-table!

Marvelously Minecraft - Somerset Week 6

This week at Somerset, we have Minecraft! In the morning, we have Minecraft Creative Mode and in the afternoon, campers are working on their math with Minecraft Math. Our students are fully engaged as they enjoy Minecraft! We are happy to see how excited they are about getting time to play, communicate, and work together in Minecraft.

International Ivy to the Rescue!

Chatham Week 6

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's International Ivy! Today our campers came dressed as their favorite superheroes as apart of our Theme Thursday. Most kids came decked out in costumes sporting their favorite comic book heroes, but some went the next step and created their own superheroes for the day. It was a great way to end the Summer here in Chatham. 

Introducing: Tie Man!

The Flash and Supergirl decided to show up too!
