Visit the Watershed Reserve's maple trees for a sap discussion and collection. Please note that the evaporation process is dependent on variables like weather but bring your sweet tooth! Classes generally include a craft, hike, and activity for the week's theme. We spend time outdoors each week, so come dressed in layers and waterproof shoes.

This program is intended for children ages 3-5. Younger siblings are welcome to attend with a parent, but we ask that they do not participate in activities.  Adult attendance and preregistration required- walk ins will not be allowed

CASA is a network of volunteers assigned by a NJ Family Court Judge to provide advocacy services for children in the foster care system. CASA volunteers work with the children's caregivers (e.g., foster parents, school, state case workers, etc.) to ensure these children are receiving all the services they require, and nothing is falling through the cracks. The purpose of this Information Session is to explain the role of a CASA volunteer, and to recruit additional volunteers for unassigned children in the foster care system.
