Get the Edge You Need!
High-school age campers and interns learn how to conquer the SATs thanks to this program offered in conjunction with The Princeton Review, nationally recognized as one of the most effective programs of its kind in the country. An optional "Meet the SAT" course is also offered to campers entering 11th grade and 10th graders who have had algebra and geometry.
Participants use extensively researched and updated manuals and learn test-taking strategies from professionally trained, intelligent, energetic instructors who are hand-picked for their personalities and teaching abilities. Campers take a series of full-length practice tests that use actual questions from previous SAT tests, giving them a distinct advantage when it's time for the real thing. (Princeton Review participants generally average a 140-point improvement.)
This unparalleled program packs in 18 classroom hours and 10 testing hours without interfering with any regularly scheduled activities, such as leagues or intercamp games. And with a 15-camper limit, we make sure participants get the personalized attention they need.

Let's get cookin'!
From newbies who have trouble finding the toaster switch to old hats who are wizards in the kitchen, everyone will find Top Cooks to their taste! Going into its third year, this popular program offers a two-track curriculum - one for the first-time chef and one for campers who have previously participated.
Campers design their own program according to their interests and level of experience. With new chefs, stellar recipes and exciting culinary adventures, Top Cooks offers the chance to learn food preparation and presentation techniques in a fun atmosphere. Previous years' classes have mastered the art of making sushi, cream puffs, lasagna, latkes and matzo balls - just a sampling of the varied options on the menu.
The program also features an optional VIP tour and luncheon at the Culinary Institute of America in New York and classes at Torte Knox Cooking School and Restaurant in nearby Hawley, PA., led by owner Sheelah Kaye-Stepkin from NBC's Food Network. Sign up soon as space fills quickly!
