Join families exploring the forest in Essex County, New Jersey!
All ages, all weather, all abilities welcome!
Expect a pace and rhythm of the children that attend, through unstructured, free play. Watch as the benefits, the magic, and fun of playing in the forest unfolds!
WHEN: Every other Saturday starting May 6 at 10AM. Will plan to meet up regularly in the Spring and hopefully Summer (need co-leader).
WEATHER: We meet in all weather. The forest is beautiful in the spring as life emerges (and rain is likely)!
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/

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 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!
