The camp meets from 10 a.m. to noon. The cost is $95 per day or $475 for six days. Registration is at goldeneagleart.com.
For Young Adults
In Bridgehampton, the Hampton Library’s anime club on Monday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. will give kids in sixth grade and up a chance to watch, talk about, and make crafts related to anime and manga. On Tuesday during those hours, kids of that age can test their knowledge of Black history in a trivia contest with prizes. The library’s council of young adults will meet to talk out, publicize, and organize future teen programs next Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
Double-Feature Saturday
A movie double-feature is on tap for teens on Saturday at the John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor. At 11:30 a.m., it’ll be “Everything, Everything,” about an 18-year-old with an illness that keeps her from leaving the protection of home, but the boy next store shows her the promise of something more. Next up, at 1:15, comes “The Sun Is Also a Star,” about two teens brought together by chance who spend an unforgettable day together. Both movies are rated PG-13.
The folks at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge will bring a program on bats — complete with skeletons and a fossil replica — to the library next Thursday at 4:30 p.m. Kids will learn about bat anatomy, their physical adaptations, and why they are important.
This week at John Jermain there are Valentine’s Day story times tomorrow and Sunday at 11 a.m. for ages 1 to 4, next Thursday kids up to age 8 are invited to wear pajamas to a story time at 7 p.m., and on Friday, Feb. 18, at 11 a.m., there’s a reading of “Will You Be My Friend?”
