Awards Ceremony

 

On Friday Night following formal hall, CamTrad students and staff gathered in Wesley Church one last time for an evening of celebration and awards. As well as awards for each subject, the Director gave the prestigious GOSA (Generosity Of Spirit Award) to two highly deserving students. The ceremony was punctuated by a surprise student Miley Cyrus flash mob!

Farewell from The Cambridge Tradition

Dear Families of the Cambridge Tradition:

Our last coach just departed for London Heathrow Airport. Jesus College has gone oddly silent. The happy shouts and cries of teenagers have been replaced by the soughing wind and the plaintive chimes of the chapel.

Heavy bags and heavy hearts began to depart through the breezeway of the Boatie Arch this morning at 3 am. Cool temperatures and a steady rain throughout the day seemed to mirror the mood of the day. After noon, however, the East Anglian sky turned blue and a bright sun reminded all of us of what a spectacular month it has been. In the last few days we have enjoyed several culminating projects and showcases, including a sleek and incredible performance of Hamlet, an art gallery,  a wonderful final formal banquet, closing ceremony and ball, and even a student Miley Cyrus flash mob.

The students have left, but the bright memories remain. Thank you for sending us such incredible scholars, intellects, and people. Please see our blog for our end-of-program slideshow; final celebrations. Coming soon. In the interim, please encourage your children to keep in touch; they created a fantastic Tradition.

Sincerely —

Greg Gonzalez

Director

End of Program Slideshow!

As the Cambridge Tradition draws to a close, reminisce on the gloaming in the sky, the cobblestones under our feet and the memories we’ll never leave behind. #laughcrysaygoodbye

Top of the Rock

Last night we had biblical thunder storms in the city — but luckily, the weather cleared up just as the students were heading to the Top of the Rock viewpoint at Rockefeller Center. They enjoyed panoramic views overlooking Central Park and the glittering skyline.

Columbia College Visit

Yesterday students took a tour of Columbia College with current Columbia student and NYCS Activities Director, Jack Treval. The rain did not stop them from getting the most out of their guided tour!

 

Who are the CamTrad Mafia?!

In the shade of a spooky tree and amidst the gathering darkness, students played the Mafia game, in which they had to work out which members of the ‘mafia’ had committed the ‘crimes’ around college. Accusations flew and controversies were aplenty, but eventually the mafia were rooted out and the towns people prevailed.

A Sunny Day Out

To end off the social psychology unit, the psychology class took advantage of the sunny day and did a little bit of observational research from the punts on the cam!
