SUMMARY:Rustic Bread Baking
DESCRIPTION:10/5/23: THIS PROGRAM IS ON\, DESPITE THE RAIN. PLEASE DRESS FOR THE WEATHER– RAINCOAT & BOOTS– AND DON’T FORGET YOUR SUPPLIES.\nExplore a hands-on experience in bread baking in an outdoor\, wood fired oven!\n\n\nWarm homemade bread\, fresh out of the oven\, is a sumptuous culinary repast! Try this hands-on experience in rustic bread baking and you can learn how an outdoor wood fired oven works\, and bring home your own loaf to share (or not!). \nThis workshop begins by following a Rustic Yeasted Bread recipe that will be kneaded and coaxed into a loving loaf of bread that will be baked in an outdoor\, wood fired oven. During the rising time\, participants will collectively make a bakers’ snack. \nEvery baking experience in the outdoor oven is unique! Feeding the fire\, heating the interior of the oven high enough for quick bakers’ snack and stepping the temperature down for the bread baking has its challenges. We will share with you how it all works and keep our fingers crossed for a great bake day! \nThis workshop is open to individual adults\, couples\, and to children (ages 11 and up) with an adult partner. Each participant/pair will prepare and bake one loaf of bread to take home at the end of the session. \nPlease note: We will ask registered participants to bring an apron\, large mixing bowl\, 1-2 oven mitts\, a large\, clean dish towel\, zip lock bag\, and a large paper bag (to carry bread home). \nOptional\, but helpful: while a seasoned 8″” up to an 11″” cast iron skillet will be provided you may bring your own to bake in (no enamel). \nA little about your instructors: \nSusan\, is a licensed mental health counselor\, a former nutrition educator at family childcare homes\, and enjoyed demonstrating cooking and baking using a wood burning stove at an outdoor ethnic history museum. Robin\, a retired earth science teacher\, taught middle school students the art and science of bread baking. \nPLEASE NOTE: Pets are not permitted on the NJSOC Campus. \nRefund Policy: \nYour event fee\, minus Eventbrite Fees\, is fully refundable if cancelled 7 or more days before the event.

SUMMARY:SOC After Dark
DESCRIPTION:Fall is the perfect time for stories around the campfire. And that’s just the beginning!\n\n\nFall is the perfect time to gather around the campfire with friends for some not-too-scary stories. Popular storyteller Ken Karnas will be our featured speaker at this Pre-Halloween event. Throughout his 42-year teaching career\, Ken used stories to enhance every academic area he taught. In addition to using storytelling in the classroom\, Ken has shared his tales with audiences of all ages in libraries\, museums\, parks\, and at NJSOC’s Piney Point fire circle.  \nFollowing the storytelling\, you’re invited to join us for a not-at-all-scary night hike. Discover the beauty of Stokes State Forest by moonlight and learn about some of its residents who are active at night on this easy hike along an open path.  \nOr\, if you prefer\, bring some marshmallows and hang out at the campfire\, or head over to the corral for some stargazing on your own.  \nCome just for the campfire and stories (about 30-40 minutes)\, or stay longer and enjoy the SOC “nightlife”.  It’s up to you! \nThis program is open to adults and families with children of any age. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required for each individual. In case of inclement weather\, we’ll move  the storytelling indoors and hike as planned as long as the rain isn’t heavy.  \nIf you have any difficulty with the registration process\, please let us know so we can help! Contact us at info@njsoc.org.  \nRefund Policy/Inclement Weather: \nYour event fee\, minus Eventbrite Fees\, is fully refundable if cancelled 7 or more days before the event. While we appreciate being notified if you are unable to attend an event\, refunds are not given for cancellations within 7 days of the event.   \nIf we must cancel an event\, your registration fee\, including Eventbrite fees\, will be refunded.
