Dear Friends and Neighbors,

music

The history of Greenwich House Music School stretches back to 1905, when we were founded in the settlement tradition with a mission to provide arts and cultural programs to help our community expand experiences and help individuals lead more fulfilling lives. The goal at GHMS is to teach students the beauty and transformative power of music, art and dance and make them lifelong lovers of the arts.

GHMS serves the community through diverse programs, including private and group instruction in piano, violin, cello, viola, woodwinds, brass, guitar, drums, harp and voice, as well as early childhood programs in dance, visual arts and movement. The school is proud to offer over $50,000 each year in financial aid for students based on merit and need.

With a long history of providing arts programming to New Yorkers, Summer Arts Camp at Greenwich House provides young people, ages 7-14, access to different artistic movements to help them develop their own visual voice.

Students work on collaborative and individual projects in disciplines such as architecture, painting and drawing, cartoon art, ceramics, printmaking and animation. All levels are welcome; the only requirement is an interest in the arts!

Throughout camp, weather permitting, campers also take field trips to movie theaters, museums, galleries, parks and neighborhood attractions, including a weekly pool trip.

Register for Summer Arts Camp at greenwichhouse.org/afterschool.

Camp Dates: July 5 – August 26, 2016

Counselor-in-Training Program

Our eldest group of campers, aged 13 and 14, can work more independently from the younger campers, engage in in-depth art projects, and participate in counselor training workshops to learn how to supervise young campers. The CIT program requires maturity, encourages independence and provides an enviornment for growth and selfdiscovery. As space is limited, interested teens are required to apply for this program.

“ Wonderful staff, interesting activities and a warm, welcoming spirit. We can’t wait to be back next year!”

- Aria Laskin Summer Arts Camp Parent

Parents deserve a night off, but kids look forward to a Friday night full of fun! Kids, grades K-5 can enjoy spending a Friday night at Greenwich House. Kids will be grouped by age for an evening of crafts, games and pizza. Friday Night Fun is $30 and runs from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Visit our website for program dates.

For those parents who may need childcare support during school holidays, Greenwich House offers Holiday Camps which run concurrent with most New York City Department of Education holidays including Rosh Hashanah, Veterans Day and Winter and Spring Recess.

Greenwich House Girls Basketball is a non-competitive league that gives young women a chance to have fun while enhancing self-esteem, teaching them to win and lose gracefully, working well with others and instilling the discipline to faithfully attend practices as well as games.

Weekend Workshops

Holiday Camps combine Greenwich House’s signature arts curriculum with structured games, sports and field trips (during longer holiday breaks). Running from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with an option for Extended Day, children have the opportunity for in-depth exploration of different artistic mediums. Each Holiday Camp is $75 per day.

No experience is necessary as our volunteer coaches, who have a love for basketball, are hands-on in teaching the fundamentals of the sport. All participants receive a team trophy at the end of the season. Players also benefit from an annual clinic run by the Columbia University Women’s Basketball Team.

Holiday Camp Schedule

Practices are held Friday nights with games on Saturday. Girls Basketball is $250 per player.

Visit greenwichhouse.org/afterschool for the most up-to-date list of weekend programs.

Gamecraft

Transform a video game into a real life board game. In the six-session Saturday workshop students will delve into the logic behind the popular computer game Minecraft using the 3D printer to create their own game board and working with advanced 3D design software to create the intricate pieces needed to replicate video game mechanics for real world play. At the end of the workshop students will have their own personalized game to take home. Space is limited to six students. Gamecraft is $325 per child.

“ Greenwich House Pottery has been a big part of my life since making the decision to work in clay.�

-Elaine Tian

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

pottery

Greenwich House Pottery is the oldest non-profit studio in the country dedicated to the inquiry and advancement of the ceramic arts. An internationally recognized center that offers a diverse range of classes, exhibitions, residencies, lectures, master workshops and community outreach, the Pottery’s goal is to meet the needs of newcomers, amateurs and professional artists alike. Founded in 1909, its unique history encompasses the evolution of American Ceramics. With roots as a craft program in a Greenwich Village settlement house, the Pottery quickly became a hub of the post-war studio crafts movement and is today a vital center for art and inquiry.
