It’s getting hot in this village–and elsewhere–so grab your swimsuit and sunscreen and spend the day on the water. Sailing Sundays at Nyack Boat Club are back. If you would rather lounge around the pool, have fun at Tallman Beach and Pool Club. And if you’re looking for a cool indoor environment, meditate during a Sound Bath with Aromatherapy or escape into a dream world with the Rockland Shakespeare Company’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
This Fri-Sun list of what to do and where to do it is brought to you by Rockland Center for the Arts. Summer Camp RoCA 2019 is now open with two week sessions throughout the summer. You can take a stroll through the Catherine Konner Sculpture Park to view the Natural Progressions and RoCA Nest 2019 exhibits.
