icamp Updates
Dim the lights and start the drum roll- we've got lots of exciting icamp updates to unveil!

We know how important is it to start getting your plans in place, so we're already taking sign-ups on available 2012 icamps. Registration is now open for February and April Vacation camps, as well Summer icamps in Concord, Belmont, Lexington, Needham, and Newton. Click here to see the current schedule. More Summer sessions will be posted soon, and we'll keep you updated as we add locations and dates.

It's never too early to start saving. Get the Early Bird Discount and save up to $100 off Summer icamp when you register by December 31, 2011. Plus when you sign up for February or April Vacation camp you'll get a $100 gift certificate that can be used on Summer camps, a CTWBoston Birthday Party, or an Academic Workshop at your child's school. Know someone who would love icamp? You can get $50 back for referring new campers, and 5% off when you sign up for more than one camp session or register siblings*.  

And now you can register at www.icampMA.com with our new registration system! We've made it easier for you to control and access your child's registration information, make payments, and keep track of updated balances. All icamp forms are also online for you to download and review at your convenience.

Math Games
Scholastic, a leader in educational publishing, is launching a new initiative to improve middle school math proficiency. As part of the process to ensure high quality educational products that meet the needs of today's students, they are looking for 6th to 8th grade student volunteers to test online math games.
 
Students will have fun and improve their math skills while playing games and contributing to the design of Scholastic products. Game-playing sessions will last about 30 minutes and will take place at the Scholastic office in Watertown, MA. Mondays and Wednesday afternoons are preferred, but other days can be scheduled. Snacks will be provided.
 
If your child would be interested in playing online educational video games and giving researchers some basic feedback, please contact Emily Schlemmer (eds006@mail.harvard.edu) or Isabel Schwartzman (ifs003@mail.harvard.edu) to set up an appointment. They would also be happy to answer any questions you may have.
