Our series of StoryWalk® Sunday adventures for kids continues in April. This month only, it’s on the first Sunday.
The story posted on the StoryWalk® trail at Pine Hill Park will change monthly, and plans call for a special event to accompany each one on the second Sunday of each month.
April’s storybook is “Our Big Home: An Earth Poem” by Linda Glaser.
The beautiful poem gently leads children toward understanding the need to care for our environment. The author’s lyrical style shares knowledge that our Earth is home to people and to all plants and animals as well. We share the air, the water, the soil—everything that sustains us all on Earth.
Led by an Institute faculty member, kids will enjoy a guided walk along the story trail as they read the book, then make a special craft project to take home—and enjoy a campfire and yummy s’mores!
The event is FREE, but pre-registration is required by March 27. To register, email to: [email protected] or call 717-762-0373. Limited to 20 children.
Children in grades K–5 may be dropped off and picked up at 3 p.m. All families are welcome, but activities are geared for preschool and elementary age kids.
The stories posted on the StoryWalk® trail at Pine Hill Park will change monthly, with plans for a special event to accompany each one on the second Sunday of the month. The book for May will be announced soon, check back.
Current COVID-19 guidelines will be followed.
