    • Wolfettes

  • Be sure and make time for a visit to Lakota Wolf Preserve, where four packs roam here in the East in a natural surrounding for the first time in over a century. The Preserve welcomed five new pups late this spring, and they prove without a doubt that wolves can, in fact, be cute!

    • Campground Events

  • You'd think there would be enough to do when you go camping on hundreds of acres of field and forest, outfitted with olympic size swimming pools, heated spas, mini-golf courses, private fishing and boating lakes and tennis courts. Plus, with all the area events and attractions, it would seem that there wouldn't be spare time to do anything else. But campgrounds have developed their own internal subculture of special events to spice up campers' weekends.

    • Floating the Delaware

  • The main stem of the Delaware, 331 miles from Hancock, NY, to its mouth at Cape May Point, NJ, is the longest free-flowing river in Eastern United States. Floating on this river is lots of fun!!! Knowing the river- its beauty, history, and its hazards- can provide you and your family with many days of enjoyment this summer. The river level is just about perfect and the summer crowds have not yet arrived.

    • School's Out For Summer

  • These words bring joy to millions of hearts beating with the anticipation of 2 months of freedom. And dread to millions of other hearts wondering how to fill the hours of free time with activity for their kids. Yikes! If a vacation house or summer camp is not an option then a little planning is in order. You can give your kids a wonderful series of adventures by exploring the family attractions of the New Jersey Skylands. When you get right down to it, your kids like the same stuff you did... Six Guns, Pirate Ships, Wild Animals and Fairytales still work well. And, with a little modern day tweaking, the age-old themes come right up to speed.
