July 17 Dino Hunter Safari

DINO-HUNTER SAFARI is loaded with magic, bubble-play, outlandish sound effects, eccentric props and enough fun to inspire curiosity and delight the most academic fuddy-duddy.

Do you love Dinosaurs? Professor Livingpebble does too! Slither, fly or stomp on down and join this nutty professor on a Dino-Safari. Kids will get in touch with their inner T-Rex and embody reptiles big and small, carnivore or herbivore, while enjoying comic antics that are anything but fossilized!
Ages 4+ Kids encouraged to attend in Safari attire!
July 24 The Puppet People: The Last Dragon

Are all princesses helpless? Are all knights brave and strong? Are all dragons evil?

Find out in this whimsical retelling of the fairy tale by E. Nesbitt. Explore the issues of stereotypes, discrimination, self-esteem, greed, and friendship with this vivid puppet production. This show features classical music, large rod puppets, mouth puppets, a 7 ft dragon and a life-size knight on horseback for a jousting scene your audience will never forget!
July 31 The Amazing Max

An awesome and hilarious live magic show!" - PBS Kids

What’s truly amazing, as magician Max Darwin works miracles during the show, is not only what happens on stage but also what happens in the audience. The enchanted look that spreads across the faces of his young (and not-so-young) fans is hands down astounding.  Max conjures a custom experience that young ones will carry with them long after the show ends. 

Aug 7 Bubble Trouble: Explode with laughter from Jeff Boyer's Bubble Trouble, an interactive bubble stage show for all ages.

Bubble Trouble – A bubble volcano. Bubble roller coaster. A kid in a bubble? Jeff Boyer takes bubbles to the max in this one man bubble extravaganza. It's the craziest, most creative bubble show around. Jeff juggles bubbles, sculpts and builds with bubbles, makes fogfilled bubbles and more. Mixing comedy, music and a unique level of community participation, he engages and delights audiences of all ages. A hit at performing arts centers, festivals...anywhere there's air!


5th Annual Homeschool Art Show

The Peru Library has once again invited the homeschool community to display their art. We have a tentative showing set for the month of August. I will be sending out other emails with specific dates and details but I wanted to get the word out now. 

All homeschoolers are invited to participate. All mediums included. Multiple pieces may be submitted. Stay tuned for more information! 

Reminder: Homeschool Art Show and Science Fair

The annual Homeschool Art Show and Science Fair is coming up next Tuesday, May 28, 2019 from 1-4pm in the basement of the Saranac Lake Free Library.

The Art Show is already up and on display in the room, and at the end of the day on the 28th, we will take it down and you can bring it home.

If you haven't yet, please RSVP for the Science Fair so we can plan for space and other needs you might have (access to electrical outlet, access to the sink, etc.)

Both the Art Show and Science Fair are non-competitive, fun, all-ages events. Even parents are allowed to do projects and display them! If your student doesn't want to do a science fair project and would rather just come and observe, that is totally fine. 

Feel free to bring a healthy snack to share.

We'll start setting up science projects at 12pm, and by 1pm we'll be ready to share with each other and any family, friends, or community members who come by.

Deposit: I am collecting a $100 deposit which is non-refundable to help the camp know the number of families that will be attending so they can determine the required staff. You may mail me your deposit: Tammy Neureuther 11 Carriagehouse Lane, West Chazy, NY 12992.
 Interested or Questions: Contact Tammy Neureuther (home 518-563-7036 or cel 518-569-3327 or email tamneureuther@yahoo.com). We'd love to have you join the fun:)
 This is my children’s favorite week of the year!
Extra details:
Sunday night’s pot luck dinner or we order pizza (everyone splits the cost); three years ago, we had enough families and Kari supplied Sunday’s meal. In addition, your family will be a helper at another meal. Depending on the number of families, I may ask everyone to contribute something towards a breakfast (box of cereal or gallon of milk) and help cleaning up for one extra meal. In the past, people have been incredibly helpful so clean-up is pretty easy with all the hands at work. As the number of teenagers increases, I will be asking them to help a little extra this year!

Activities (all included in the cost):
Ø  Pool with lifeguard
Ø  Horseback riding
Ø  Archery or Knife throwing
Ø  Ping Pong
Ø  Field – great for baseball, soccer, capture the flag, etc.
Ø  Small Sand Pit (little boys liked it there!)
Ø  Volleyball/Sand area
Ø  Playground area
Ø  Motorboats with almost everything imaginable behind them (staff drives the boats)
Ø  Pontoon boat – love the rides to star watch at night
Ø  Boat Area - includes kayaks, canoes, paddle boats (this is open all day but we need an adult on land and everyone needs to sign the boats out)
Ø  Chapel time

Other things you may want to know --
·         The kitchen is vegetarian; hence no meat – milk, eggs & dairy are fine.
·         You bring your own bedding, towels, etc. (beds and bunks are provide). I’ll let you know what beds/bunks you will have in your room before you go.
·         Every family supplies a meal - so food is mostly covered. You can put the food you bring in the main kitchen where there is a walk-in fridge and area to store food. (You may also want to bring extra snacks for your family in a plastic container if you store where you sleep or you can store anything you want in the kitchen – please label for food if you do not want anyone else using it)
·         Due to allergies, we have only allowed peanut butter in the kitchen and asked that an adult makes the sandwich, then they watch the child while they eat it. Afterward, please wash everyone’s hands. If you have other allergy concerns, or this policy is not acceptable, please notify me and we will work together to ensure everyone is safe!
·         You may want to bring stuff for s’mores – they are a hit on nights we have a campfire!
·         Bring your favorite board game - kids love to play games together on rainy days or in the evening.
·         If you would like to organize a “class” or “meeting”, just let me know and we will add it to our schedule. In the past we have had photography, cake decorating, men prayer time, and homeschool sharing time to give you an idea.

Feel free to contact me with questions. You can email me at tamneureuther @yahoo.com or call me at (h)518-563-7036 or (c) 518-569-3327. My kids are looking forward to an amazing time with their friends, both new and old, and I’m looking forward to the peace and friendship I enjoy each year.
