We take pride in offering a wide variety of quality programming in the areas of academics for both advance- ment and enrichment, Athletics, Day Camp, Swim Programs, S.T.E.A.M., The Arts (both visual and performing) and much more. Operating on both Pingry campuses (Basking Ridge and Short Hills), we aim to create a summer experience for your family that is not only fun and produc- tive, but also extremely convenient! A new and exciting enhancement for Big Blue Summer 2019 is a revamped and re-energized Big Blue Summer Day Camp ending at 1:00pm, allowing campers to finish out their day by choos- ing from our extensive catalog of after- noon programs including offerings from Technology Camps, Sports Camps, The Handworks Studio, Diplomat Chess, Tutoring, Swim Intensives and more. We are thrilled to launch our brand new “Adirondack Farm and Mountain Camp” – a 6-night sleepaway program in Lake Placid, NY. These campers will learn about cutting-edge environmental sus- tainability and farming techniques on a working farm and its surrounding forest. They will learn to care for animals and cook meals with a professional farm-to- table educator. As a complement to our extensive ros- ter of Signature sports programs, we continue to partner with the best of the best in their field. Returning for another spectacular summer is New York Yankees baseball camp, Red Bull Soccer camp, Sum it Up Lacrosse, Blue Star Lacrosse, Nike Softball, and Nicol Champions Academy (Squash). New to the sports roster are GRIT Basketball, and all the way from Spain, the Real Madrid Soccer camp. To increase and enhance our already top-notch tech offerings provided by Zatna, we added the exciting and engag- ing Fleming Tech Camps, which feature technology courses on virtual reality, roller coaster science, Fortnite-inspired game design, digital photography, and more. For the student who loves the arts, returning for this summer is Pingry Per- forming Arts Program as well as our proud partner, Elefante Musical Theatre. A new addition for 2019 is The Visual Arts Center of NJ Additionally, some of our most popu- lar programs are offered by long-stand- ing partners International Ivy and Mega V Day Camp, both located at our Short Hills campus. Our programming isn’t the only thing that is new and improved for 2019. We’ve spent the past several months cre- ating a user-friendly website with a spe- cial “Browse All Programs” filtering fea- ture which shows families all of the pro- grams that match their interests and availability. If advice and guidance is needed, the Big Blue Summer team is happy to provide answers to families in real time using our live chat feature or personalized plans. Whether your interests are in academ- ics, sports, technology, the arts, or a little bit of everything in our Big Blue Summer Day camp, Pingry has the perfect sum- mer program for you and your family.
