Perlman Music Program

Harborfields Music Center runs a summer music camp at its studio on Pulaski Road in Greenlawn for kids ages 5 to 12, grouped by age (5 to 7, 8 to 9 and 10 to 12), and no music experience is needed. Campers explore different instruments, form bands and jam to rock, reggae and more, and build confidence in kids theater and drama through games, improvisation and age-appropriate scripts. Days also include outdoor play and choice time for arts and crafts, board games or quiet reading. Camp runs in two-week sessions, with full-day and half-day options plus extended-day and early drop-off add-ons.

Camp Good Mourning! is a free overnight weekend camp for Long Island children and teens ages 7 to 17 who are coping with the death of a parent, primary caregiver or sibling. Kids who lost a close extended family member who lived with them, like a grandparent, aunt or uncle, are welcome too. Camp runs in the spring and fall at Camp Quinipet on Shelter Island, a short ferry ride from Greenport or Sag Harbor, from Friday at 4pm to Sunday at 4pm. Campers get a real camp weekend, with a low ropes course, a gaga pit, fishing and basketball and volleyball courts, alongside support groups led by trained professionals, including mental health counselors, social workers, psychologists and grief specialists. Registered nurses are at camp around the clock. The camp is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and donors, grants and local businesses cover the cost, so it is free for families. Children can come back for more than one weekend, and families apply through the camper application on the camp's website.
