Yes, we know it's a funny name, but here generations of Mainers have called it "Going up to Camp". In Japan they say "shinrin-yoku," which literally means "forest bath." Make time for yourself, life is hectic. Come over to slow down and connect with Range Pond's forest and wildlife. Enjoy an hour of quiet. Do's: Prepare to be outside, which means black fly & tick precautions. Bring a folding chair if you want to sit. Don'ts: Leave those bars of soap at home and please leave your phone in your car. Ranger Lori, a retired educator and lifelong outdoor enthusiast will facilitate this program.

Meet at 1:45 PM at the parking lot across from the Range Pond State Park gate. Children attending programs must be accompanied by an adult. Program may be canceled due to continuous precipitation, or lightning in the area.
