Tulsa Forest School

Roaring River Camping trip Day 2(pt1): We had a wonderful morning with breakfast burritos and a free musical performance from Ronia & Arlo and then it was off to kids fishing day. While some of us were enjoying the trout fishing the rest of us went for a hike and cave tour then we headed back to camp for some lunch😊 and then more swimming.

Day 1 of our spring camping trip to Roaring River State Park. Our special group camping spot was beautiful. It had the best view! First we set up camp, then we went for a dip in the river. The water was pretty chilly, a dip was all some of us were willing to take 🤣 But the kids didn't seem to mind at all LOL. When we made it back to camp we made dinner, a delicious taco bar. Finally, we started a fire and enjoyed s'mores 💖 It was the perfect first day 👌We want to say thank you to our Title sponsors for this trip Sun and Ski Sports & Gearhead Outfitters for helping make this trip a reality.

We still have room for a couple more families for our camping trip next weekend so we thought we'd open them up to our followers here. If you have been waiting for the right opportunity to join us, now is your chance 🤣 This is going to be a fun one. We also have a loose itinerary that includes community breakfasts and dinners provided each day, kayaking on Saturday, fishing on Sunday, and an optional cave tour on the way home. If you are interested PM us for details and come join us for a beautiful weekend reconnecting with nature ☺️

Teddy just got a custom kit for his 4th birthday, and he LOVES it! (It's been such a great diversion from screentime for us)

Here's a description from Kathrine:
