WILD THING:
Don’t be scared by the
creature on our front
cover! This artwork was
created by Hannah Lee as a
kindergartner in Ms. McGill’s art
class at Williams School. This assignment
to create an original wild thing based on
Maurice Sendak’s book clearly inspired her,
as her artwork does us.

Crossing
the Line...
ANIMATED SUPERHEROES
Amanda Legere, Instructor
Create an action-packed short story featuring a spectacular superhero, sassy sidekicks,
and of course, a vicious villain. Apply your
technology skills and turn your story into
a slide show full of flashy images and exhilarating narration, captured to an iPad or
desktop computer. We’ll study the art of superhero stories and learn what pertinent plot
details you need to include in yours. From
there you’ll design a story map, craft characters (using images you find and/or create),
and dazzle us with your own thrilling story.

BOOTSTRAP: PRACTICAL
MATH FOR PROGRAMMING
VIDEO GAMES
Bootstrap staff, Instructors
Bootstrap is a computer programming course
with a twist—come learn programming basics
in the Racket language, and use your skills to
program your own video game using algebraic and geometric concepts. In this class,
you will work through the Bootstrap 1 and
2 curricula, learning solid program design
skills such as: stating input and types, writing
test cases, explaining code to others, and becoming familiar with functions and variables.
Throughout the course, you will put your
knowledge into action to create a computer
game of your own design. Once you learn
Bootstrap, these skills can be put to use in
other programming environments, and even
in your math class! No programming experience necessary. Grades 6–8.

COMPUTER ART:
PHOTOSHOP
Sophia Ng & Elisa Ng, Instructors
MUSIC MASTERPIECES
WITH GARAGEBAND
Caleb Cutler, Instructor
Apply your creativity and technical knowledge and get proficient with the world’s
most popular image manipulation program. In our week together, you’ll learn to
use Photoshop for practical and creative
projects, working on a surrealist collage, an
expressive self-portrait, a reinvented masterpiece or movie poster, and more. See how
Photoshop and image manipulation have
been used to do things like modify body
appearances and alter “real” photographs,
and become an expert in creating and recognizing altered images. All levels welcome.
Grades 5–9.
If you’re a musician (instrumental or vocal)
or just someone who’s interested in music and
technology, this class is for you. Learn the
inner workings of GarageBand to lay down
original tracks or use existing loops, incorporate jam packs or other sound effects, export
your original music, and more. We’ll discuss
what makes a good song, both instrumental
and vocal, and we’ll work on our own songs
individually or in groups. You’ll finish the
week with a CD of the projects everyone in
the group has completed. Bring your instrument if you have one, but don’t worry if
you’re not a musician. New and returning
students welcome. Grades 5–9.
KS25-S14-1 $195
CREATE A TV SHOW
Amanda Mazzola & Sarah Grina, Instructors
Make your own TV production based on
your ideas and imagination. Kids run the
show here: you’ll roll the cameras, run the
control room, be the actors, and most importantly, create the program content and
write the script. You’ll learn the basics of
TV production, including camerawork and
lighting, and get expert instruction with
scriptwriting and acting as well. We’ll work
together to create our masterpiece, and the
finished show will be broadcast on NewTV.
New and returning students welcome.

WEB DESIGN
Rebecca Edelman and Jamie Lightfoot, Instructors
Expand your creative and technical knowledge and learn to build your own website.
Get step-by-step instructions on working
with HTML, the most common Web programming language. You’ll design a simple
website on a topic of your choice, sketching
a site map, choosing images, creating text,
organizing files, and including links to other
sites you’d like to reference. You’ll use the Web
as your primary source for images, but bring
other materials that you’d like on your site
too (and a camera or iPad if you wish). Please
come with access to a Gmail account, which
you will need for building your website.

ARCHERY
Delicious Bow & Arrows staff, Instructors
Fun fact: Newton was host to the nation’s
first organized archery team, The Newton
Archers, circa 1935. Honoring that legacy,
NCE is pleased to offer this still-popular
sport. Archery is a great option for those who
prefer a noncompetitive individual sport
to team sports. Certified instructors from
Delicious Bow & Arrows (formerly Archery
USA) will determine your dominant eye, explain the rules, and get you started, providing
individualized instruction throughout the
class. Archers will learn technique, form, and
accuracy. Equipment is provided. All levels
welcome. Grades 3 and up.

Sports too

Massachusetts Department of Public Health and are
licensed by the Newton Health Department.
FLAG FOOTBALL*
Thundercat Sports staff, Instructors
T-BALL*
SOCCER TOTS
Learn fundamental football skills from our
enthusiastic coaches. Each day we’ll focus on
a “skill of the day” such as passing, catching,
running, and offensive/defensive strategies.
We’ll enjoy a scrimmage at the end of each
class so you can apply your new skills. We’ll
use flags only; no tackling. Wear sneakers
and bring a water bottle. Camp will be held
indoors if it rains. Grades 3–5.
Baseball is “America’s favorite pastime.”
You’re never too young to learn to play and
T-Ball’s the way. You’ll learn individual skills
such as batting and catching, and get an
introduction to aspects of regular baseball.
We’ll also play non-traditional games and
activities to encourage skills development
and create a fun, supportive atmosphere.
Wear sneakers, and bring a baseball glove
and a water bottle. Camp will be held indoors if it rains. Ages 3–6.
Why should big kids have all the fun?
Toddlers, accompanied by an adult, can learn
the basics of soccer in this fun, noncompetitive environment. Players will increase their
sense of balance, improve their coordination
and physical movement, and have a leg up
when they join the big leagues! Wear sneakers and bring a soccer ball and water bottle.
Classes will run unless there’s pouring rain;
call Thundercat Sports at 781-507-6182 if you
are uncertain. Ages 2–3 with an adult (one
child per adult please).

Attention Innovations, Basketball, Flag Football, Soccer & Multi-Sports, and T-Ball Campers:

More fun than just one sport—enjoy a variety in this weeklong camp. Soccer will be our
core sport, but unique games and activities
will also be part of the mix, creating a fun,
appropriately competitive atmosphere. Our
enthusiastic coaches will teach you proper
skills, rules, and tips for each sport; they’ll
also referee, assure maximum playing time
for each athlete, and kick off our final-day
tournmant each week. Wear sneakers and
bring a water bottle. You’ll be grouped
by age and skill level. Camp will be held
indoors if it rains. Ages 4-9.

The Everything Camp
INNOVATIONS*
Chip Piatti, Director
Come see why so many Innovations campers and staff count down the days from summer’s end to next year’s camp. It’s more than that at this camp you choose your own
activities and share them with other campers of every age, or that here you’ll write the
script for your own commercial, build a to-scale dinosaur, or beat your favorite CIT
in a fencing bout. There’s nowhere else where you can explore unique activities like
architecture, aviation, and “spy kids,” alongside traditional ones such as arts and crafts,
drama, swimming, team sports, cooking, and more. Innovations is something special
you have to see and feel for yourself. Your personalized program is designed after you
register and select your own activities. So join us this summer to make new friends and
let your imagination and creativity come to life. Grades 1–7.
