After reading a nature-themed story, participants will be able to visit stations at their own pace. The stations will vary from week to week but may include puppets, coloring pages, art, games or active play, animal visits, and more about the week's topic. This program will meet at the EDC shelter behind the Go Ape Cabin. If there is severe weather the day of the program, we will meet in the nature center. This program is best suited for preschool and kindergarten participants, but early elementary students are welcome to join us. This program is free with park admission. Adults must stay with their children for the duration of the program.
The day of the week we meet varies from month to month. The schedule for January - May is:
January - Fridays the 5th and 19th
February - Thursdays the 1st, 15th, and 29th
March - Tuesdays the 5th and 19th
April - Mondays the 1st, 15th, and 29th and a bonus Saturday session for Wildflower Weekend on the 20th.
May - Wednesdays the 8th and 22nd

Weather Statement: We try to keep Story Time on the Reservoir outside as much as possible. If the temperatures are 10 degrees or less, the program will move entirely indoors. If the temperatures are between 10-35 degrees, the program may be a mix of indoors and outdoors. If the temperatures are 35 degrees and warmer, we are most likely going to be at the shelter the entire time. Other factors including cloud cover, wind, and precipitation may come into play when making the decision as to where to host the program. Updates will always be available in the event discussion on our Facebook page.
