Mostly Free & Fun Things to Do This Weekend with Westchester Kids: Forest Magic, Camp Fair, How to Pay for College and More, Jan. 10-11
As our focus shifts from the festive holiday season to the cold winter ahead, it may be hard to muster up the motivation to head out of the house. While the temperatures may dip, the little ones will still grow restless. Luckily, there are plenty of enriching and fun activities throughout Westchester and the Hudson Valley, including a wide variety of events this coming weekend!
It may be January, but that doesn’t mean that outdoor nature programs have come to an end. There’s Birding Hike, Winter Walk and Forest Magic to name a few. Bundle up!
If the arts are what you’re after, you can collaborate with artists at Live Art Fest, enjoy a FREE performance at Shakespeare in the Church, kick up your heels at Danceworks or Walk to the Beat Workshop Series: Square Dancing or get crafty at Model Magic Winter Wonderland.
Also happening this weekend are a couple of informative programs for parents: Financial Aid: How to Pay for College and Summer Camp and Teen Program Fair.
That's not all! Consult our Event Calendar and January GoList for lots more. Also sign up for our FREE weekly newsletter to get top picks delivered straight to your inbox--both our weekend roundup and our newly launched weekday highlights.
