Join the HHLT River of Words educators at Winter Hill for some fun summer workshops.  Earlier programs are geared for the "Mommy and Me" set (ages 3-6), while the offerings later in the day are for older, school-aged children.  Dress for a mess!
 

Mystical Creatures, July 26, 10:00am-noon, is a whimsical adventure perfect for all young fairies and sprites! The magic begins with morning story time, is followed by a hands-on activity, and ends with a tea party. Healthy snack included. Children under 5 must be accompanied by caregiver.

Everyone's outdoor adventures deserve to be documented. The Field Notebook, July 26, 3:30pm-5:30pm, is a 2-hour mini course designed to get children 10 and up started on their own field notebooks. After a short hike into the school forest, we will explore different forms of expression; from field sketching, and watercolor to poetry and recording observations. Materials fee includes a journal to take home.

Volunteers needed for Storm King Hike and Bike Trail

The Town of Highlands Green Team is looking for volunteers for the Storm King Hike and Bike Trail program this summer.  Anyone who has driven along this section of Rte. 218, which wraps around Storm King Mountain high above the Hudson River, has marvelled at the fantastic views.  Last year, this stretch of road was closed to motorized traffic so that pedestrians and bikers could enjoy the scenery safely.

Volunteers are needed to help with the program again this year.  Any level of commitment is welcome.  For more information and to sign up, please contact Olga Anderson 917/509-1200 or olga.anderson@gmail.com.
