August 2019 Session 2 ​

Quad Sports Sizzle! Mike B and campers heat up summer camp with super sports.

Story by Camp Staff from Summer 2019 ​ ​

1 Sports in the Quad area of the campus is one of the centerpieces of Camp College, ​ literally. The classes (that range from Flag Football to Beach Sports to Soccer) have been run by a variety of teachers and counselors over the summers, but one mainstay has been the legendary Mike Belfiore. With the skill, talent and creativity you would expect from a PE teacher, Mike makes summer classes outside fun to be in. Summer is all about being outside, getting sweaty, and getting exercise! Mike and brothers James and Lorenzo provide a time and place for campers to experience the fun of playground games. Shady, then sunny as the day goes on, the quad offers a break from cell phones, game devices and summer math packets. One long time camper describes Mike’s classes as creating “Fond, entertaining memories and a time where everyone could feel included!” It seems as though any camper, experienced in athletics or not, can enjoy the Quad classes. In closing, this dynamic set of classes is one you’ll want to sign up for next summer! Ask your friends which classes they enjoyed best. And don’t forget, bring a water bottle.

THIS SUMMER’S ​TOP STORIES

Crazy for Kooky Science story by Camp ‘zine Staff ​ ​ Joseph Violi is clearly having a lot of fun in this class. It looks like he is making some type of slime - and a mess! Miss Emily is the teacher for this class and we’re surprised she can handle all these noisy kids! But she does, and boy do they love the class! From science to silly, this class is a blast.

Camp Class: Advanced Balloon Twisting Reported on by Selin Yilmaz

Advanced Balloon Twisting is a class that ​ you can take after you take Beginner Balloon Twisting. While Beginner Balloon Twisting is mostly focused on learning how to twist basic things (such as dogs and swords), Advanced Balloon Twisting focuses on how to correctly use proportions, like how to make a dog with a reasonable size for its head, body, and tail, instead of making a dog with a large head and unreasonably large tail, like you might as a beginner. Advanced Balloon Twisting is also a good class to take once you’ve gotten used ​ ​ to the sound of balloons popping. Starting off as a beginner, you likely will not be used to hearing balloons pop, but by the time you’re in Advanced Balloon Twisting, it probably won’t bother you. Balloon twisting is a great skill to learn, and I definitely recommend joining the beginner class so you can move up to the advanced one!

3 Camp Class Review Dylan McIntosh: ​Minecraft Mania! In this long running creative class, you will be able to play on a dedicated server. This server was created this summer by Catherine Epps, Nicholas Epps and Elena K for just this class; meaning only other kids in the class can play. Each week, a different contest is held. In the first week, we had a contest to see who could build the best house. So far, it’s been super fun. Next week, PvP! Choose this class if you want to play Minecraft and meet new friends in the process!

Book Review: Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone ​ Reviewed by Angelina Violi

Recently, I read Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K ​ Rowling. J.K Rowling currently lives in Scotland with her husband and her 3 children. She has written over 25 books, but as most people under 40 know, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone was her first book published. The main character's name is Harry Potter and Harry hates his life on Privet Drive with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. Harry has been told all his life that his parents died in a car accident and he was not to bring up the subject. So when a half-giant called Hagrid shows up at his door with a letter that tells him he is a wizard who has been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he can hardly believe it. Then Harry goes off to Hogwarts and makes friends, but has to face the evil Lord Voldemort. J.K Rowling wrote the book for people's enjoyment. The only similarity between J.K Rowling’s life and the book was that it takes place in Britain. J.K. ​ Rowling first had the idea for Harry Potter while delayed on a train travelling from Manchester to London King's Cross in 1990. One weekend after flat hunting, she took the train back to London on her own, and the idea for Harry Potter fell into her head. She didn’t have a pen and was too shy to ask anyone for one on the train. It gave her the full four hours on the train to think up all the ideas for the book. Over the next five years, she began to plan out the seven books of the series. I thought that the book was incredibly interesting and had a lot of thought put into it. I would not change a thing about this book. Harry Potter has taught me about personalities - Harry Potter never lets me down. I would recommend this book to people from the ages of 11 and 16. Do not read this book if you are worried about your parents, the world ending, or other things, because this book WILL give you nightmares. You must be mature enough to handle the occasional language and the scary actions in this book. But otherwise, read the book; you will not regret it.

by Riley Reid Staff Writer Help the Earth ​ ​ nd ​ Earth day isn’t just April 22 ,​ it should be every day! Have you noticed all the trash on ​ our Earth? We need to change this. Remember, you can help by cutting down on the waste you make and stay busy picking up trash around you. (see next page)

4 Another way to help protect the environment is carpooling. It cuts down ​ on pollution by only having one car to drive instead of more cars driving at the same time - then we can save on gasoline. We might not have a healthy Earth soon if we keep polluting our only planet that we are able to live on. Yeah, it does sound scary, that’s why we need to change. Don’t be the person to just think others will do it for you. We all need to make that change and do our part on Earth. So if you see trash on the ground pick it up, and if you are going to the beach maybe bring a trash bag so you can pick up trash that might be on the sand or in the water. Let’s make a change!

Class Review – Ultimate Frisbee – Neel Das ​ ​ Do you like outdoor sports? Then Ultimate Frisbee class is perfect for you. We play Ultimate in the quad. The way this works is, James or Lorenzo (Class teachers) pick 2 captains, and then the captains pick teams. The way you play Ultimate Frisbee is, someone on team 1 throws the Frisbee off, and the other team gets the Frisbee, and they throw it to each other and get themselves to the end-zone. A player gets 3 steps each when they have the Frisbee. If you drop the Frisbee, it’s the other team’s Frisbee. When you score, you repeat to throw it off and the other team is on offense now. This class is really fun, fast-paced and well-coached. I would recommend it to anyone who likes sports and sunshine. Remember to bring a water bottle! Have fun out there!

That Good Lunch. by Gabi Louis Staff Writer ​ ​ My favorite part of lunch at camp is the food. There are cheesesteaks, fries, soda, gummies, and much more. Riley Reid says that the fries are potato-y goodness and that they are very soft. She also says that they come at a good price of $1.90 per box. Selin Yilmaz says that the chocolate chip cookies are her favorite snack to get at lunch because they are soft and ​ ​ big, so you can share with your friends and come at a great price of $1.75. Layla Tafesse says ​ ​ that the cherry Jolly Ranchers are her favorite part of lunch. She says that the Jolly ranchers are her favorite because of the flavor. She also loves the price of $0.10 per piece. Madeline Hester feels that the grilled cheese are her favorite part of lunch. She says that the sandwiches are ​ ​ cheesy and crunchy at the same time - and come at a great price of $3.45! Overall, lunch is ​ super good and is one of my favorite parts of the day. ​

3 Famous Roller Coasters – Neel Das Kingda Ka/It only seems fitting that I start with this coaster. With up to ​ speeds 128 mph, this ride only takes 50 seconds. It is 456 feet tall and goes from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds. This coaster will take you for a ride, and when you get to the top, you wait 1 split second and then drop as fast! This ride is close by at 6 Flags in Jackson, New Jersey!

6 Formula Rossa/This coaster may not look like much, but it is insanely fast. The high speed is ​ ​ ​ 149 mph - that is the fastest roller coaster in the world! This coaster is a whopping 6,600 ft. long, and the height is 171 ft. tall. This coaster is in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The Hulk Coaster/This coaster starts with a G Force level of 4g, and then you’re up, up, and ​ away. It goes up to speeds of 67 mph. It is very fun, and there are lots of loops. You briefly go underwater, and you’ll have a lot of fun. In summary, I wrote about roller coasters because roller coasters are amazing and fun to ride. They give you something scary to do with your family at a theme park. Get in line!

Dylan McIntosh – Epic Game Review

​I got my hands on this wonderful new product by Nvidia. This is my review of Nvidia GeForce Now. ​ This computer program aims to let people who don’t want to spend the money on a high-end PC play new games. The program works by connecting to the company that owns your games, whether that be Steam, Blizzard, Epic Games, etc. Then, it streams the game from one of Nvidia’s high-end computers. You can play from a large selection of games, including, but not limited to, Fortnite, Minecraft, PUBG, and Rainbow Six Siege. These games usually play at over 200 fps, but they don’t always. Note, this DOES NOT give you free games, you have to own the game to play it using GeForce Now. From my experience, this software is extremely good. Sometimes, the connection to Nvidia’s server gets a little spotty, but most of the time it’s perfectly fine. I usually get around 240-270 fps in Fortnite on epic graphics. This is insane, considering my laptop was made in 2014. Without the GeForce Now, my laptop usually runs Fortnite with epic graphics at around 40 fps. Right now, this program is in “Open Beta”, meaning only a select few people can use it. I would review this program 5/5 stars, as it is a wonderful new experiment. A Short Interview Interviewers: Angelina V. and Layla T. ​ Interviewee: (“Izzy”) Isabella Lawandy Date of interview: 7/31/19 ​ ​ ​

Q: Have you been at camp college before? A: “Yes, 3 years.” Q: Were you a friendly froglet? A: “No.” Q: Are you considering being a CIT? A: “Maybe...” Q: Do you like camp college? A: “Yes, it’s fun.” Q: What is your favorite part about camp college? A: “Swimming!”

My Trip to Connecticut by Jake LaRusso ​ ​ My trip to Connecticut was a really long drive​, but it was worth it. Last year, my family and I took a trip to Connecticut and the drive lasted about two or three hours. Once we got there, we got into a hotel called Holiday Inn and next we went to a diner just below us and it was great. Then one day, we went to a boat museum and we learned a lot about history like how the Vikings traveled across the ocean. Later on, my Mom bought tickets for a boat trip around the dock. My favorite part was when my brothers and I got to steer the boat! Another day, my whole family went to an aquarium nearby. There we saw many different sea-animals such as penguins, seals, and jellyfish. It was so much fun and I learned a lot from the ocean exhibits and its animals. After several days, we had to go home, but before left went to the diner for one more amazing meal! I’d recommend a visit to the “nutmeg state”.

Fun Things to do in by Jayla Little New Jersey ​ ​ Have you ever wondered what you could do in the state of New Jersey? This article tells you fun things you and your family can do in our home state of New Jersey. If you are looking for history, New Jersey was the third state that enter in the union so you can definitely find history, I suggest either going to the Aviation Hall of Fame or Barnegat Lighthouse State Park. If you want to take walks and see the beach, I suggest Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, Barnegat has a maritime forest which is a forest near the sea. So, you could have a nice walk on the beach and inside it has the story of the Lighthouse. If you want to stay inside, maybe try the Aviation Hall of Fame. The Aviation Hall of Fame is in Teterboro, New Jersey. It has all the people who have been and outstanding flyers from Amelia Earhart in planes to Neil Armstrong in space and landing on the moon.

If you are looking for amusement, I suggest going to Jackson, New Jersey when you go to Jackson you can find a famous amusement park Hurricane Harbor/Six Flags Great Adventure. Here you can go in either Hurricane Harbor the water park or Six Flags the amusement park. If you are looking for a thrill - I suggest Six Flags, Six Flags has tons of rides, like Nitro, or Bizzaro and softer rides like the Bugs Bunny Barnstormer and Air Jumbo. In Hurricane Harbor, they have rides like Hurricane Mountain - which are mostly Toboggan Rides to stay cool on! Enjoy! ​

Back To School Organization by Maggie Riley ​ One of the most important techniques to be prepared for going back to school is staying organized. This ​ is important because when you go into your new classroom, your teacher will probably recommend to you and other students that you stay organized. If you are an organized student and you clean your desk this year, your teacher will also know where to find the assignments that you have completed. You should always be organized in school so your teacher says that you did a good job to stay organized.

Now, you know that it is good to stay organized even though you want to be messy sometimes. The mess at your desk can be funny to other students when your teacher looks through it, but you should always be organized in a way so your teacher can find everything in your desk. It is recommended to stay on the organized side so you are able to complete your assignments on time. Just so you know, it is smart to listen to what you must

9 finish as homework so you know where to put the assignments and when to complete them by. Stay Organized!!!!!!!

Here are some tips to get good grades and stay organization: ● Make sure you know where important materials and assignments are at all times ● Keep school supplies in a safe place that you can easily access ● Always have extra supplies handy, if needed ● Keep track of where you put important papers for tests ● Keep track of where you put your notes so you can find information easily ● Always listen to directions and keep things in a safe spot ● Whenever you or your classmate does something wrong/bad in class while you and your classmates are taking a test - don’t laugh so you can focus ● You will get a good grade on your test if you pay attention to what's on the test, to figure out the answers and what’s right on the test then you might get a good grade on your test that your taking! If you follow the rules I gave you, then you should see if they work. If they do, that means I gave the right tips to you, so make sure to share the tips with others! ​ ​

Places to go and visit on Vacation By Jayla Little ​ ​ Have you ever thought about going on vacation? If so, were you stumped on where to go? Well this article tells you two of my ideal vacation spots and one fun local spot to visit.

If you ever wanted to take a trip out of the country, a place you might want to visit Singapore. Singapore, is overlooked since it’s a city-state (Singapore doesn’t have a capital). If you ever travel to Singapore there are some tourist destinations you should visit or you can even try to see all of the city-state, since Singapore is smaller than the state of Rhode Island! Singapore has over 300 nature reserves or you could see the Gardens by the Bay, which is a beautiful place with some modern features, as well as some gorgeous plants.

If you wanted to stay in the country, I suggest going to Myrtle Beach, South Caroline. Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach, obviously location in Myrtle Beach, let’s you walk under the fish tank! Another place I think you should visit is Ripley’s Believe it or not! Ripley’s Believe it or not is an exhibit that has information that are unbelievably true but 100% true, like the fact that the U.S produces around one-fifth of the world’s garbage.

Much closer to home is Mercer County Park! Right here in this county is Mercer County Park. In this park, there are all types of festivals during the weekends to come to. You can rent a bike go on the trails. There is a beautiful lake that you can go canoeing and paddle boating in. You and your family and friends can have a barbecue or picnic by the lake. You can bring a ball to kick around and play on the playground. After, there is always a concession stand or ice cream truck to go to. This is a great park that is most likely local to you. So the next time you have nothing to do, go on vacation. I recommend going

10 to either Myrtle Beach, South Carolina or Singapore! Or, visit a local park. I’m sure you’ll have a good time. Camp ‘zine Staff Biographies

Popular Animes That I Demand You to Watch curated by Ava Flores

1: My Hero Academia: My Hero Academia (also known as MHA or BNHA) is an ​ ​ anime about a boy named Izuku Midorya who lives in a world where 80% of the population has a power called “quirk”. Izuku aspires to be the number one hero, but unfortunately, Izuku is born quirkless. Fortunately, this does not obliterate his dreams of becoming number one.

2: One Piece: One Piece is about a boy named Monkey D. Luffy (most commonly ​ ​ referred to as Luffy) who aspires to be the king of pirates and to find the treasure, One Piece. The only thing that is in his way is his disability. When it comes to being a pirate, swimming is a factor that is unavoidable at times. When Luffy was seven years old, he accidentally ate a fruit called the “Gum Gum fruit” for desert. This dangerous fruit, no matter what type, gives the person who consumes it odd powers. The Gum Gum fruit turns people to rubber after consumption. The downside of all “special” fruit is that it takes away your ability to swim. Of course, this does not stop Luffy from becoming a pirate.

3: Shrek: Shrek is not a series, but it’s an amazing drama filled with thrills, chills, ​ ​ romance, and some tears. Shrek is a classic movie that sort of fits into the anime genre. Shrek is an ogre who doesn’t like people or living things in general. He’s also really edgy. Shrek is a moody adolescent who especially hates it when people are in his swamp. Shrek obviously hates it when people are in his swamp because in the first Shrek movie, fans were excited all over social media when Shrek said his most famous line; “Get out of my swamp!” - Shrek (From Shrek- 2001). ​ ​

Thank you for reading, I deeply hope that you consider watching these fantastic and magical animes that have warmed our hearts since forever ago. Make sure to have a “shrektastic” day ;) ~ ​

How to be Really Ready for School This Year By Selin Yilmaz ​ With school just around the corner, many campers are probably already nervous about ​ entering a new grade in September. However, there are some things that you can do to be more ready for a new year at school!

Buy All of Your School Supplies Upon starting a new grade, you obviously have to have all of ​ your notebooks, binders, folders, and such with you. If your school gives out a list of the supplies that you’ll need, make sure you get it before school starts. Most places that sell supplies will be out of the good stuff once school actually starts.

12 Review the Things You Learned Last Year If you kept all of your binders and work from the ​ year before, you should flip through and review some of the subjects and skills you learned last year. Try solving some math problems that you did last year, or quiz yourself on a topic that you learned in science. If you threw all of your work away, you can make sure to keep everything from the upcoming school year to help you next summer!

Make Sure You Finished All of Your Summer Homework Summer homework doesn’t usually ​ count as a huge part of your overall grade in most schools, but that doesn’t mean you should skip it. It’s a great review, and not doing it will probably be a bad first impression on your new teachers. Also, DO NOT save your summer homework until the last week of summer! For ​ ​ example, if you get a math packet to do, work on a couple of problems everyday instead of doing it all at once. This way, it’s less stressful, and you’ll feel like it hardly took any time at all.

Q’s and A’s by Jake LaRusso Q: What’s your favorite part about Camp College and why? A: Katie Scheid (Counselor) My favorite thing about Camp College is being able to meet ​ ​ ​ and get to know the kids, and to see them enjoy and improve at all of the different activities that they take part in at camp.

Q: What’s your favorite memory from Camp College? A: Maddie Wauter (CIT) My favorite memory from Camp Collage would have to be the ​ ​ show. I was a camper for six years and always looked forward to performing in and watching the show on the last day of camp. It’s super cool how the whole camp can come together! Q: What hobby(s) do you like?

A: Dylan McIntosh: My favorite hobbies that I like are playing instruments and tennis. ​ ​ Q Who are your friend(s) in Camp?

A: My friends are Iona and Advika. ​Jayla Little: ​ ​ ​ ​ Q: Did you have a funny moment and what was it?

A: Gabi Louis: One funny moment was when my brother bought me lunch and I had to eat it ​ ​ ​ in three minutes. Q: Would you be coming next year to Camp College

A: Riley Reid: My answer is yes, I will be coming to camp next year. ​ ​

Memory Page Flying on Two Wheels One of my mom’s favorite memories from when she was little By Maggie Riley ​ Many of my mom’s favorite memories from her youth come from spending time with her ​ grandparents and riding her bike. My mom’s grandparents visited her every Sunday. Sometimes she and her grandpop played catch or hit golf balls in the backyard. Other times, they went out to dinner. Now we have the same tradition of Sunday visits with my grandparents. My mom’s grandparents bought her first bike, which she loved to ride. When she got older, my mom rode her bike everywhere. She and her friends would ride for miles and miles. Riding a bike felt like flying, my mom said. Whenever my mom thinks about those memories of her grandparents and riding her bike, she always feels happy and it puts a smile on her face.

One of my favorite memories from my youth was when… When I was ​ two, my mother gave birth to my younger sibling who is a boy. My

parents wanted me to feel not left out and said a present from my

unborn brother was waiting for me. I believed them. The present was

right next to the hospital bed. When I saw it, I instantly ran towards it.

The toy was a Little Einsteins rocket. I kept that toy until it eventually

became moldy from being filled with bathwater.

Article by Dylan McIntosh

One of my favorite memories from growing up is…

When I turned 3, my parents took me to the movies to

see the Lion King. When Mufasa (Simba’s father) died, I

went under a chair and cried. I screamed “The bad

guy killed the good guy, we need to leave!”. After we

finished watching the movie, and were leaving, I cried

even more and yelled “The good guy’s dead,

WAHHHhhhhh!” Article by Neel Das ​

Jake contributes this: ​My mom’s favorite memory is when she took a trip - a wonderful trip to Disney World and went into Cinderella’s Castle. It must have been very exciting for my mother meet s0 many Disney characters as a child.

Camp Word Search​ By Layla T. and Angelina V.

A Wonder-ful Book Review By: Maggie Riley I am currently reading the book Wonder by R.J Palacio, and I really ​ ​ think that it is good, sad, and interesting.

Some of the other characters are Via, Jack, Julian, Summer, Charlotte, Mr.Tushman, Mrs.Isabel Pullman, Mr.Nate Pullman, Miranda, Christopher and many, many more.

15 Stranger Things Season 3 Review

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! If you have not watched Stranger Things seasons 1, 2, or 3 - please do not read the following... Article by Madeline Hester ​ This summer season 3 of Stranger Things came out. This season of Stranger Things was ​ ​ personally my favorite season out of the three. Season 3 was filled with new characters like Robin, Alexie, Erica, and Suzie (with a Z). Just like they added new characters, they also added a new setting, a mall. This season describes how Max and El became friends since last season. Every season is a new holiday or season, this year they did summer and the Fourth of July. The Duffer Brothers, the creators of the show, made more pop culture references this season, like when Steve, Robin, Erica, and Dustin saw Back to the Future. The acting this season was amazing. Another new thing they added was the community pool. My favorite new thing this season was Will The Wise, Will Byers’s D&D character. What I didn’t like this season was that they had a plot hole in one scene. In this scene the Duffer Brothers introduced a green chemical thing and then not explain what it was and why the Russians had it. How did the Russians make a secret underground base in 1985 on US land without anyone knowing, like I think people would notice if Russians were in America suddenly, and why does Steve Harrington get beat up every season. I also don't really like how Suzie made Dustin sing that song (even though it’s a good song), and how Will, Jonathan and El moved away. They also killed Billy off, it made no sense to kill him off. He was introduced in the second season and then killed in the next, it doesn’t make any sense. But I mostly liked this season for many reasons and that’s why I reported into the Camp Zine.

Funny Camp Classes (​That We’d All Like To See) ​By Niki Das So, every one of us campers have all dreamed about at least one class that we wish that Camp College had. So, if we mention some of those classes, then hopefully, some people would think about making them actual classes. (*wink, wink.*) These are some of the cool classes that are often thought about and hoped that they will become a reality one day. CLASS NUMBER ONE: Meme Class You research different memes and have discussions about what they mean, then make up your own! CLASS NUMBER TWO: Fortnite Class You just play Fortnite all day, talk about the dances and try them out, and talk about the characters and which are your favorite. CLASS NUMBER THREE: Harry Potter Reading You read Harry Potter Books all of the period. CLASS NUMBER FOUR: Entomology Class You go outside and study insects and their life cycles.
