Still looking for a co-leader to make the Saturday meet ups a more regular occurrence.
LOCATION: South Mountain Reservation, Tulip Drive 64 Cherry Lane, West Orange, NJ 07052 (as you enter Tulip Drive be sure to turn right to find the parking lot by the picnic tables and creek).
On a typical Saturday at Tulip Springs, the children start with some water play as the group assembles. Then, we venture into the forest for a hike and some light orienteering. We end at a brook (get wet?!), which is usually a good time for a snack or lunch.
Tick prevention!
