Despite New Jersey’s heat wave, camp at the Cora
Hartshorn Arboretum is COOL! Both literally and figuratively!Nestled in the woods of Short Hills, New Jersey, temps in the Arb must run 20 degrees below the outside world. And the activities? Well, for one, how abouta fossil hunt! Cool, right? And I was invited to recite poetry to the kids from my book Poems on Fruits & Odes to Veggies. My eager audience enjoyed it so much, they didn’t want me to stop. Talk about a feel-good day! Pictured here are a few campers with their counselors. Thanks kids, for making my morning so special.
