Bug out for Roald Dahl Weekend

It’s a whole weekend devoted to beloved children’s author and artist Roald Dahl at Wave Hill on Sept. 24 and 25 in celebration of his 100th birthday.

Get inspiration from the late author’s “James and the Giant Peach” as you make pop-up books featuring grasshoppers, spiders, ladybugs, and more. Then, join visiting artist Channie Waits with storytelling to bring the tales to life.

In the afternoon sessions, entomologist and bug guru Lawrence Forcella will be on-hand with live creepy-crawlies that children ages 6 and up are sure to love.

Roald Dahl Weekend, Sept. 24 and 25 from 10 am to 4 pm. Free with admission to the grounds.

Wave Hill [W. 249th Street and Independence Avenue in Hudson Hill, (718) 549–3200; www.wavehill.org].

Basketball City

Beginning June 2024, Basketball City will be running a full weekly schedule of Summer Basketball Camps. We will have our professional staff of coaches teaching your kids weekly. Our camps are designed to teach kids the skills they need to become a better basketball player by using specific drills and fitness work that focus on the fundamentals of the game in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. &nbsp;The camps run weekly varying in time and the number of days for ages 6-17. We have 3-, 4- &amp; 5-day options with times ranging from 9-4pm or 9-3pm. Every camper will receive a jersey once they are registered and arrive. We are limiting the number of camp participants each week to ensure a safe and healthy environment for your children. The limited number of campers will also ensure that your child receives individual attention needed to improve their basketball skills. Our camps in the past typically include current and past NBA players and a collaboration with the Jr. Knicks, the National Basketball Players Association, as well as 5 Star Basketball, and our ever-popular Basketball City FUNdamentals Camp along with our Jr. NBA/NBA Cares NBA Draft/Skills Challenge Camp with future NBA talent.
