Our guided Sunday walks along the story trail continue. Now happening seasonally, each StoryWalk® event celebrates the new season in a fun and meaningful way.February’s storybook is “The Mitten” by Jan Brett.
“Based on a Ukrainian folk tradition, the story is a whimsical tale of winter woodland animals climbing into a mitten lost in the snow—each animal larger than the last. Children love the story as the succession of animals leads up to a big brown bear,” said Pam Rowland, Buttonwood’s educational site coordinator.
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 warm up with a campfire and yummy s’mores!
The event is FREE and registration is not required. For more information, email to: [email protected] or call 717-762-0373.
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.
Beginning in 2025, the stories posted on the StoryWalk® trail at Pine Hill Park will change seasonally.
Pine Hill’s StoryWalk® trail, a Buttonwood/Institute project, was funded in part by Summit Endowment, 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 our Today’s Horizon Fund contributors: The Nora Roberts Foundation; Alma W. Oyer; Marge Kiersz; APX Enclosures; Don Gibe and Nancy Erlanson; and the family of the late Carolyn Terry Eddy, with daughters Connie Fleagle & Kim Larkin.
