Cosmic Explorers: Rocket Lab offers students an opportunity to explore model rocketry and learn about past and present achievements in the field of space science. This camp promotes learning through hands-on experimentation as campers build and then launch their own model rockets.

Help your child reach for the stars by enrolling them in this enriching and action-oriented summer program. As they build and launch their rockets, you’ll be amazed at how much they learn about physics, engineering, and design.  Campers get to keep the rocket they build, so the learning and fun can continue long after the camp is over.

9AM to 3PM each day

Due to technical difficulties with the college sound system, the Adirondack Ballet’s Performance of Coppelia was put on hold. The performance will now be on JUNE 26 at 10am at SUNY Plattsburgh Hawkins Hall. This year’s ballet is Coppelia. According to the director, it is a great ballet for children. It is the story of a toy maker who makes a lifesize doll and a young villager who falls in love with the doll. Upset by this, the villager’s fiance sneaks into the house to discover the “girl” is nothing more than a toy. The ballet has a happy ending for all.

Walk The Plot – for high school students
Create a full story in an afternoon! This workshop is for every writer, reader, and film-lover who wants to peel back the layers of story to study the bones beneath.

In this interactive workshop, participants will move and write so wear your walking shoes and bring a portable notebook and pen. You will leave the workshop with a greater understanding of what makes your favorite movies and books so compelling.
