There is no better classroom than the outdoors! In our homeschool program, we lead children on a hands-on exploration of the Huyck Preserve's forests, streams, and ponds. This program focuses on building ecological understanding through observation, investigation, and documentation of our discoveries, while encouraging creativity through nature art and play.

Designed for homeschool families, children ages 5-12.
Caregivers may stay with the class but are not required to stay. Please indicate your plans on the registration form.Preschool siblings are also welcome if caregivers attend but must also be registered.

250 years ago, eight Shakers fled England, bound for New York in hopes of finding religious freedom. Named for their trembling “religious ecstasies,” the Shakers received gifts of revelation; communications from the spirit world. Led by a woman whom they called, “Mother Ann”, they were subject to bloody persecution. Shakers were beaten, imprisoned, abducted, and chased out of town on both sides of the Atlantic. Undeterred, they persevered to build their vision of Heaven-on-Earth right here, in Albany. We invite you to join us as we pull back the veil separating this world from the next at America’s First Shaker Settlement.

Tours are on Oct. 15, 16, 17, 24, & 25 at 5:30pm.

*This ghost tour touches on sensitive topics including sickness, mental illness, suicide, physical abuse, religious persecution, and death, both of children and of adults. If these topics hit too close to home, we hope that you will take good care and join us for a regular tour another time

This October, magic and mystery return to Catskill! Bridge Street Theatre presents Devils ’N Details, a new magic show by acclaimed magician Peter Samelson, running October 24–26, 2025. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2:00pm.

Known as “the soft-spoken conceptualist of sorcery” (New York Times), Samelson has captivated audiences worldwide — from the Great Wall of China to Parisian salons — with his blend of illusion, theatre, and philosophy. Recently featured on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, where he was hailed as “one of the greatest living magicians,” Samelson is also co-founder of New York City’s longest-running off-Broadway magic show Monday Night Magic, a frequent headliner at Speakeasy Magick, and a recipient of the Merlin Award for Lifetime Achievement.

In Devils ’N Details, Samelson reveals how the unseen shapes our world, drawing laughter, awe, and just a touch of Halloween eeriness. Expect a night where illusions unravel into truths — and where the devil truly is in the details.

Tickets are $25 for Adults and $15 for Students. Performances at Bridge Street Theatre, 44 West Bridge Street, Catskill, NY. Reserve your seats now at bridgest.org/devils.
