School Break Programs

NATURE-BASED PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS

School vacation is a great time to be at Sylvester Manor! Our school break programming runs during the Shelter Island School District school breaks during 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 are led by Hannah Gray, a certified Forest School educator and the Director of our Summer Youth Program. The program will thread the music of a composer 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.
