• Description:
  

  Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts will present, for the third year, its very successful Organic Gardening and Simple Food program. The nationally acclaimed summer arts day camp teaches students in grades 4-12 how to grow and cook simple food. There are guest gardeners and chefs and a Farmers Market at the end of the summer season. Usdan Center, in the Huntington area of Long Island, annually hosts more than 1600 students from throughout the New York area. There is a huge hillside garden and farm set aside for the Organic Gardening program. The 2012 season, its 45th, begins in June for 4 and 7-week programs. Students are transported by air-conditioned buses, and about one-third attend on scholarship. Open Houses, which begin October 23 (from 11 AM to 2 PM), give families full information on Usdan programs, and a tour of the magnificent 200-acre woodland campus.
