StoryWalk® Sundays—April 2023

April 16, 2023 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

NEW! We now have an online registration form—see below. To sign up for this program, fill out the form below.
Attendance is FREE but registration is required. 

Our series of StoryWalk® Sunday adventures for kids continues…

The story posted on the StoryWalk® trail at Pine Hill Park changes monthly, and a special story event accompanies each one on the second Sunday of each month. The April walk was changed to the 16th as the second Sunday is Easter.

Kids will join a guided walk along the story trail as they read the book, then make a special craft project to take home.

Spring is the season for pollinators, and the featured storybook for April is “The Honeybee,” by Kirsten Hall, with vibrant illustrations by Isabelle Arsenault.

“Buzz from flower to flower with a sweet honeybee in this timely, clever, and breathtakingly gorgeous picture book from critically acclaimed author Kirsten Hall and award-winning illustrator Isabelle Arsenault. With zooming, vibrant verse and buzzy, beautiful illustrations, this celebration of the critically important honeybee is a honey-sweet treasure of a picture book.”

The event is FREE, but pre-registration is required by April 13. 

NEW!! Fill in the registration form, below. Limited to 20 children.

For more information, email to: [email protected] or call 717-762-0373.  

All families are welcome, but activities are geared for preschool and elementary age kids.

Pine Hill’s StoryWalk® trail, an Institute project, was funded in part by Summit Endowment – (WellSpan Health), Marge Kiersz and Rouzerville Business Association, with in-kind support from Washington Township, Hopewell Manufacturing, Waynesboro Area School District “Be the Village,” and Alexander Hamilton Memorial Free Library.

Additional support is from The Institute’s Today’s Horizon Fund contributors: The Nora Roberts Foundation; Marge Kiersz; Alma W. Oyer; and the Carolyn Terry Eddy Family: Carolyn, with daughters Connie Fleagle & Kim Larkin. Facility support courtesy of Washington Township.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
