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, which is usually a good time for a snack or lunch.

WHERE: South Mountain Reservation, Tulip Springs - 64 Cherry Lane, West Orange, NJ 07052
WEATHER: We meet in all weather. The forest is beautiful in the fall, as we watch the seasons change and the animals prepare for winter.
WHAT TO BRING AND WEAR: Be prepared for water play, including shoes that you are willing to get wet and dirty. It is highly suggested to bring a change of clothes for the ride home. More tips: www.forestschoolforall.com/blog/2015/08/04/outdoor-gear-for-kids/
