Wonderful World of Wizards (Harry Potter Inspired)
2024-06-06 08:30 - 2024-06-07 15:00
Ages 5-12
Enter the world of wizards and witches in Snapology's Wizarding program, inspired by Harry Potter and other amazing wizards. In this program, your child will be inundated by magical places like Hogwarts, by creating castles and undergoing a special ceremony where they are sorted and use their own imagination to create secret rooms and a coat of arms! This class will spark their imaginations and encourage creative reasoning in new ways, allowing them to build amazing things they have only dreamed of before! They’ll enjoy themselves so much, you might think we have them under a spell!
WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN
• Building a Stable Structure: Building a sturdy, reliable structure is a fundamental aspect of engineering. In this program, students will explore different methods for creating a brick model that is both
strong and functional. As they are given new building projects to complete, they will be positively encouraged to think critically and use teamwork to solve engineering and design problems.
• Creativity: Snapology’s Wonderful Wizards program encourages students to embrace their imagination and create familiar items with a unique, personalized twist. By using visual aids, holding creative classroom brainstorming sessions, and providing basic building parameters, students will be supported as they take creative risks and guided when they aren’t sure what to build next.
• Presentation Skills & Cooperative Play: Presenting in front of others can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for young children, but our program aims to help your child feel more comfortable when presenting in front of a class by having them explain their builds to peers in a safe and supportive way. When they’re not presenting they will be combining their individual builds and working with class to create a larger class creation that requires teamwork, critical thinking, and communication. Without communicating, asking questions, showing empathy and patience for their peers they will not be able to achieve group builds.
: Drop off begins each day at 8:30am. For maximum efficiency, we ask you to be punctual at arrival and dismissal times. Campers are required to bring in their own lunch, 1 snack, and a drink every day. Please pack lunches in paper bags or lunch coolers and put the child’s name on each bag. Snapology Day Camp is a “nut sensitive” environment. As we have several students with food allergies, no peanut or tree nut products are permitted. Weather pending, we will take the students to Murray Park mid morning to shake out the wiggles and play in the sunshine. The walk is about 4 minutes however if you would rather your child stay in the studio, kindly let us know. Please view our Summer Camp Webpage for a hourly breakdown of activities.

Mother Baby Circle
2024-06-09 14:00 - 15:30
Join us for a nourishing workshop designed specifically for mothers like you. It's a chance to connect with other mamas and tap into your inner strength. Being a mother can be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding, especially when you're surrounded by others who understand and support you.
Merlin Hann, a fellow mama, has created this workshop based on her own experiences during the early months of motherhood. It's a nurturing and judgment-free space where you can receive support, share your journey, and fully embrace the highs and lows of motherhood. And the best part? You can bring your little one along with you. New mamas are encouraged to bring their babies (birth – pre-crawling) for infant massage, movement, and bonding exercises. We also focus on restorative poses to help mamas cope with modified sleep schedules during this exciting and sometimes challenging time. Come join us, with or without your babe, and experience the love and acceptance that awaits you. Whether you're a new mom, expecting a baby, or a seasoned mama, we believe that you deserve to be supported through every step of your motherhood journey.
If you're planning to bring your little one with you here are a few things to remember to pack:
1. A blanket: Bring a soft blanket to place down when you're practicing gentle movements. This will provide a comfortable space for your baby to relax.
2. Snacks: If your baby is bottle-fed or breastfeeding, make sure to bring a prepared snack for them. We welcome both options to keep your little one nourished during the workshop.
3. Diapers, wipes, and changing mat: It's always a good idea to have these essentials on hand in case of any accidents or diaper changes to ensure your baby stays clean and comfortable.
4. Yoga mat (optional): If you prefer to have your own yoga mat, feel free to bring one along.
However, if it's too much to carry, don't worry! We'll be more than happy to provide you with one.
These items will ensure that you and your baby have a comfortable and enjoyable experience during the workshop. We can't wait to see you there! We will have some handcrafted tea for you & some snacks. We can't wait to see you there!

New Material Night: A Standup Comedy Show!
2024-06-13 21:00 - 22:30
Every 2nd and 4th Thursday, comedian Lauren Hope Krass (Betches Media, HBO Women In Comedy Festival) and Dan Frank (New York Comedy Festival, PN & Friends) are bringing together New York’s funniest comics to test out their newest bits. Before a joke appears on a televised special or on an album, it lives a fascinating life of twists and turns. The rules are simple: Laugh if it's funny… And maybe politely fake laugh a little if it’s not because hey, trying new things is hard! This show is a favorite of Time Out New York and you just can’t bottle the infectious energy that erupts every single show. This is a guaranteed good time for a solo outing, date night or group hang. We of course also highly recommended this show to all our beloved Astoria comedy nerds. This is where the magic happens!

Next up, a mash-up improv team of guest performers!
Then, cast members of the podcast 'Sounds Funny Radio' have been given a day pass to leave the recording studio. And they chose to spend it on stage doing improv! Unplugged and off the record, witness the talent pool that Chartable.com calls "Somewhere between #24 and #180 on the Apple Podcasts United States of America Improv chart".
Your headliner for the evening is Looper – an improvised scene on repeat. This ensemble of actors will take you on a surreal journey as they create a copy of a copy, indulge in their failures, and spiral into absurdity and madness.
This in-person event promises to have you rolling with laughter from start to finish. Don't miss out on the chance to see Looper live on stage!
