Movie Makers EXTREME *FULL DAY* Camp
Ready to write and star in your own feature film? Or maybe behind the scenes work like filming and video editing is for you! Whatever role you prefer (or try them all!) Movie Makers EXTREME will get you there!
Students will get to get crafty and create props AND use one of our many green screens or fun backdrops. Using the green screen with our video editing software will allow you video to take place anywhere! We can even green screen your body away for fun effects like floating heads or missing arms. We will also have a chance to use clay, legos and stop-motion cameras to make objects come to life in your films!
On the last day, campers will enjoy a movie viewing of all of the movies created with a fun popcorn and candy party!

Did you participate, or want to participate in Center School's Math Olympiad Club this year? Do you want to participate next year? Or do you just enjoy math and want to solve challenging problems in a fun, game-like setting? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Math Olympiads is the camp for you! During the school year, Math Olympiads is a math club that meets weekly to practice and participate in contests against other competitors worldwide. Although we won't be competing through the official program during the summer, students will learn problem solving strategies and methods of tackling challenging, non-traditional problems. Students will become better problem solvers, explore mathematical topics they aren't likely to learn about in their regular classroom during the school year, and have a great time doing it. This camp is geared towards students who enjoy and excel in math. Students who would benefit from a camp that reviews grade level skills should look for the camps called "Math Camp."

Ever wonder how they design apps for smartphones? Stop wondering and start creating your very own apps! In this introductory course, students will learn how to create their very own smartphone apps.

Students are encouraged to be creative in their designs and leave their own personal imprint on the apps they create. Some of the exciting apps students will create at this camp include a digital Magic 8-Ball, smartphone sketch pad, and the arcade classic Whac-A-Mole.
This course is taught by Chris Rossetti who has been offering children math and science enrichment through computer science education for years.

Is your child ready for 6th grade math this fall? Do they possess all of the core skills which are necessary to succeed? If you are not completely sure, have your child come join Ms. Hartnett for a fun-filled week of learning!
Who says math is boring? It’s definitely not when Ms. Hartnett is teaching it! We will spend the week refining the critical skills (see below) that students will need in order to achieve success once school starts just a few weeks later. Each morning, we will focus on 2-3 important skills and then test each child’s understanding by having them participate in fun, hands-on, and engaging games. Together, let’s make this upcoming school year your child’s best yet!
We will also preview the first month of what your child will be taught in 6th grade. This will greatly help ease their transition in this new environment.
Skills to be covered: arithmetic, fractions, geometry, rounding, place value, factors, multiples and so much more!
