Half-day camp for Philipstown children, week of July 8

The Butterfield Library announces the return of Summer Fun at the Library to be held July 8 through July 11.

Summer Fun at the Library is a half-day camp for Philipstown children entering grades 1-5. Made possible by a generous gift from an anonymous donor, the library will offer the program for one week this year.

The camp will focus on dinosaurs and fossils. Each day will feature activities, games, crafts and special guests that explore the time of the dinosaurs and the knowledge that we can “dig” up. The week will include visits from Mad Science, the Mastadon Lady and Turtle Dance, who will lead a participatory music program.

Online registration opens Monday, June 10, at 10 a.m. The program is limited to 15 participants, and spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, visit butterfieldlibrary.org and click on the calendar. For further questions, call 845-265-3040.
