We are excited to, once again, have The WaterFront Center of Oyster Bay join us for a marine life session about various turtle species. Live turtle, shell, and skeletal forms will be studied.

If needed, raindates are scheduled at the end of the season, Wednesday, 8/9 and/or Friday, 8/11.

Summer at the Sangha 2023

See all the Summer At the Sangha events >

During this 4-week summer program, teens and young adults with a range of abilities (in middle, high school, college and the workplace) are introduced to a sampling of hands-on, heart-centered nature and wellness inclusive community classes across various topic areas and creative outlets. Games and team-building, too! Guided by our teachers, farmers, peer-mentors and community partners, participants come together for outdoor educational experiences, to enjoy camaraderie and minimize anxiety. Learn what diversity in nature has to teach through the exploration and discovery of plants, animals, land and water in our Long Island “learnscape”, connecting us as kin. Something for everyone! BYO lunch (water & snack available)
