Two More Adults Needed for the
Intergenerational Summer Camp Program at Bylane
We're looking
for two more adults to participate with six elementary school children next
month at Bylane
in an Intergenerational Summer Camp program.
This is being
organized by InterGenerate, the same organization who hosted our "Breakfast
Birding" event a few weeks ago. You may recall meeting Peggy Clarke and Roseann
Rutherford, co-founders of InterGenerate, at that time. More information about
their organization, InterGenerate, can be found at
www.intergenerateny.org.
The July program
will be held on 4 Thursdays from 9 a.m.-noon.
The activities may include many of the following gardening adventures—planting
herbs, making flower boxes, doing cuttings and rootings, canning, learning how
goat cheese is made. We'll also do casual hikes around Bylane looking at birds
and learning about the native plant garden and wetland plants. Adults will make
lite lunches/snacks with the kids—veggie
kabobs, goat cheese salad, and we might even learn how to pickle and make salsa!
This program will be
under the direction of Patricia Compton and Becky Simkhai—both
Board members of InterGenerate, and will also be facilitated by our own on-site
Master Gardener, Cathy Clare.
As of now they are
fairly close to achieving full enrollment for children, but still need 6
adults willing to participate and commit for all four dates - July 9, 16, 23,
30. If you would like to participate or for more information, contact
Roseann Rutherford by email at
byntyme@aol.com or phone 914.393.7169, or you may register directly on their
website at
www.intergenerateny.org.
