Upcoming Workshops
Summer Sundays
Summer Sundays are a time for 15-month-olds through 4th grade to explore nature through art, music, and stories alongside their caregivers. These workshops are designed to foster a sense of community among the participants and their grown-ups. It’s a wonderful way to stay connected to learning and exploring over the summer.
All abilities are welcome. Younger and older siblings are encouraged to join along. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult age 18 or older.
All workshops are held from 9-11am at Delaware Park. We will meet at a tree beside the Rose Garden. Look for the “Summer Sundays” sign. Caregivers will be notified if the workshop is rescheduled in the event of inclement weather or an emergency.
$8/child per workshop, paid at the beginning or end of the workshop.
In order to guarantee your child a spot, you must reserve in advance as drop-in space is limited. Reserve via the contact page on the Saffi Photography website, through email at saffiphotography@gmail.com, or call/text: 518-944-0376
