This workshop is your chance to enter a magical world of creativity, where you daydream, imagine, and craft beautiful felt creatures and keepsakes. No experience is required—you quickly develop needle-felting skills under the guidance of celebrated fiber artist and playful instructor, Martha Belardo. Martha says the tactile, sculptural, and design work involved throughout the process of needle felting "stimulates the mind and mood in all the best ways."

This week, we focus on creating woodland scenes that reflect the natural splendor of our surroundings. Wee forest friends, whimsical fairies, mushrooms, owls, and rabbits (oh my!) will spring from your needle as you learn to layer textures and color. Using fibers grown in the Hudson Valley, we fall in love with this forgiving medium which allows for course corrections and delightful adjustments as our felt sculptures come to life.

There is something for everyone at Family Week.

• Workshops for the grownups that teach skills or help you relax or give you a renewed sense of purpose. The schedule is more flexible than at other times so that the most important people in the world—parents—can get a well-deserved rest.
• And for the kids there are camps that engage their body, mind, and spirit, get them outside on our beautiful campus, help them make friends, and instill the values of cooperation, compassion, and joyful living.

Adult Workshops meet each morning from 9:30 a.m.–Noon, and Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m. On Thursday afternoon from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m., take time off to relax or enjoy a Dabblers Delights—classes in music, dance, wellness, yoga, and more, led by workshop teachers and special guests.

Kids Camps meet every morning from 9:00 a.m.–Noon, and every afternoon from 2:30 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

In the evenings, everyone gathers for family entertainment.

Please note: If you don't have children you may participate in this program, but be advised almost 200 children are on campus, and services and schedules are geared for children and families.
