WAYNESBORO—The Institute’s Children’s Summer Stories begin on June 21 and will be held every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to noon through July 26 at Red Run Park in Rouzerville, Pa.
Children will gather in the park to hear stories and enjoy related hands-on activities. The theme for this year’s stories and activities is “Farm Animals.”
The free program is open to pre-school and older children, but they must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is not required.
Kathy Helfrick and Jane Glenn, both retired educators, return this summer to read a new story each week.
“Summer Stories includes two of my greatest loves—children and books!” Glenn said. “We have a ball reading with the children and doing crafts.”
“Summer Stories gives me an opportunity to continue doing one of my very favorite activities, reading books to children,” Helfrick said. “The program began as a small group of kids enjoying stories. Our audience has steadily grown. I love the joy I see as the children become part of the stories.”
The program is part of The Institute’s “Summer Institute” programming for kids. Information about additional summer programs for youth is available at www.natureandcultureinstitute.org.
In case of rain or for more information, please call The Institute at 717-762-0373.
