School Break Programs

BACH BREAKS
an opera in the forest

NATURE-BASED PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS

School vacation is a great time to be at Sylvester Manor! Our “Bach Breaks” run during the Shelter Island School District school breaks during December, February and April. Sign your child up today to experience a dynamic, science-based, re-wilding curriculum, created in the spirit of kindness and compassion for the children of our changing world.

All sessions will thread the music of Bach through the week, noticing the inspiration from the natural world in a musical representation of seasons. Children will create artwork, hear stories, design puppets, make animal dens, plant seedlings and more, all while developing a connection from the forest and farm to the rest of the world.
