From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated feature film about an adventurous teenager who is inspired to leave the safety and security of her island on a daring journey to save her people. Inexplicably drawn to the ocean, Moana (voice of Auliʻi Cravalho) convinces the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson) to join her mission, and he reluctantly helps her become a wayfinder like her ancestors who sailed before her. Together, they voyage across the open ocean on an action-packed adventure, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills her quest and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity.

It’s the 1800’s and we are going back to the day of Laura Ingalls and The Little House on the Prairie! Let’s be pioneers and settlers and learn about life on the farm and create everyday items!
Winterberry Farm, a fully operational and sustainable farm, will be traveling to Queensbury. The farm will feature eight different animals, including a miniature horse. We will learn about each breed, how animals benefit a farm, general care and management, and more. Our young farmers will learn how to handle the animals and pet them, too.
Our little pioneers will have to do chores, BUT, they will have GREAT FUN! We will learn to dip candles like in the 1800’s and they can make as many candles as time permits. They will have choices of scents, colors, and shapes. We are not done yet…we are also making soap! We will learn to make it the old-fashioned way. We will craft our own soap with natural additions, such as lavender, vanilla beans, and hibiscus flowers-the sky is the limit! Children can make as many bars as time permits.

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within.
