Teen Films
High school students who participated in the East Hampton Library’s teen film contest will screen their work on Monday at 3:30 p.m. at the library. Students made music videos, public service announcements, and short films in teams or individually. Awards will be given out for the best of them.
CMEE Sneak Peek
The Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton has added some new interactive science-themed installations to its holdings and will give museum members a sneak peek on Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m.
At noon that day, children 3 to 6 can work with Frank Trentacoste of Bhumi Farms in Amagansett and the museum’s gardener to ready the gardens for the growing season and learn the basics of planting, transplanting, and keeping a plant healthy. Participants will leave with a potted flower of their own. The cost is $17, or $5 for members.
Jamming and Tie-Dye
On Sunday, the final day of the Montauk Music Festival, Camp SoulGrow will be jamming and making tie-dye shirts with kids 7 and up and enlisting them to help keep the downtown green clean during the festivities. Camp SoulGrow will be headquartered in a tent set up on the green from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kids who wish to take advantage of a free lunch provided by the Montauk Friends of Erin or those who want to sign up for specific shifts — 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 to 3, or 3 to 5 — can do so online at campsoulgrow.org. Activities are free, but a suggested donation of $10 helps to support the nonprofit camp.
On Wednesday, Camp SoulGrow will celebrate the opening of its downtown office, studio, and winter headquarters on Carl Fisher Plaza from 2 to 6 p.m. Kids and their adults have been invited to stop in for activities or to just say hello.
Paint That Goes Boom!
Not all paint sits quietly on a canvas or piece of paper. Some fizzes and explodes. On Saturday from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Montauk Library, Cheryl Frey Richards will work with children in kindergarten through fifth grade to make paints that erupt using everyday household ingredients.
Little ones 2 to 5 years old and their caregivers can get their groove on during Toddler Tango at the library on Friday, May 27, at 12:30 p.m.
