River of Words programs for all ages
The Hudson Highlands Land Trust at Winter Hill in Garrison will hold River of Words outdoor arts and crafts workshops this summer. Morning programs are geared for the “Mommy and Me” set, while afternoon offerings are for older, school-aged children. Children should wear appropriate footwear for a walk in the woods or meadow, and dress for a mess.
The morning workshops for ages 3 through 6 (children under 5 must be accompanied by caregiver) are Forest Fun with Irene O’Garden, Tuesday, July 28, 10 to 11:30 a.m.; and Enchanted Forest with Lisa Mechaley, Aug. 4, 10 to 11:30 a.m.
