This summer, as it has for the past fourteen summers, The Olana Partnership will offer four weeks of hands-on exploration for children ages 6 to 11, from July to August, at Olana State Historic Site. Discounted early bird registration is now open.
Children can experience art, science, and nature through sketching, lake exploration, hiking, painting, play, and more, all while meeting new friends and learning from the experts. The whole summer focuses on art and nature with special guest visits and different activities each week.
Highlights for each of the four weeks include exploring habitats, animals, and ecosystems within Olana's 250-acre artist-designed landscape with Taconic Outdoor Education Center and Columbia Land Conservancy; unleashing your inner sculptor by experimenting with clay, wire, and paper mâché; creative cooking classes with The Sylvia Center; a special visit from beekeepers at Fox Farm Apiary; and experimenting with professional materials like paint, charcoal, and collage.
The program runs Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Secure your space now. Early bird registration is available from January 1 through February 29 and offers a $50 discount. Registration will close on June 1, 2024. The cost of attendance is $350 a week for members of The Olana Partnership and $450 for nonmembers. To become a member, visit Olana.org/membership. Early bird pricing is available until February 29 and is $300 a week for members and $400 a week for nonmembers.
