Retro Stokes Tripping

Post-Memorial Day week is what used to be a longtime tradition of Fair Haven sixth graders taking that trip to Stokes State Forrest. The time of the year has since been switched to fall. So, in honor of the original timing of this rite-of-passage trip to Stokes, we, again, invite you to take a trip back with us. Remember?
It’s that time of the year when Fair Haven schools tradition used to take hold and all good Knollwood sixth graders packed it in and went on their trip to Stokes State Forrest. The buses rolled out of town right after Memorial Day. It’s now been more than 50 years’ worth of Stokes adventuring. Wow.

Retro River Rats’ Rite of Summer Passage
Call it a ratty reprise ode to summertime …
Summers in the Rumson-Fair Haven area are rife with river-oriented activities that have become tradition.
River Rats’ sailing “camp” is no exception. OK, nobody was camping per se. It was more like a little club. Still is. In fact, it’s that time of the year when kids start signing up for summer River Rats fun. In fact, it’s that time — to sign up for the Rats season.
It’s been a sort of rite of living on the Navesink passage for decades — since 1955. Kids learn how to boat and do a lot of summer fun bonding in the process.
