Good to Know:

Meet at the Log Cabin (main entrance) when you arrive to Forest Glen Adventures and we’ll share:

• recommended night sky interpretation apps you can download before we head to the stargazing platform,
  safety information and
• pack in-pack out instructions
• We have a six-person tent and double air mattress available for rent ($20 per night) if you don’t have your own. Rental includes set up on site and tear down.
• We’ll happily help you set up your tent and/or hammock if you’re bringing your own.
  Sometimes overcast conditions present patchy opportunities for stargazing but beautiful conditions for camping. We’ll show you how to get the most out of stargazing in any condition.
• If you’re planning to stargaze during your trip, protecting your eyes is very important! Be sure to wear sunglasses when outside and especially when at the beach or near the water as the sun can leave an impression on your retinas for over 24-hours.
  We recommend you bring bug spray, comfortable footwear, and dress in layers.
  You’re welcome to bring your own telescope and/or binoculars if you have them.
