Enjoy Reading and the Outdoors
The Wenatchee River Institute's StoryWalk® is a fun way to spend time outdoors while being active and learning something new! Beginning on the trail to the right of the Outdoor Classroom (map below), you can read a children's story. WRI educators handpick stories involving nature, different cultures and languages, and a reading level that is accessible to most children. Our goal is to change the book each season! Currently, A Day with Yayah by Nicola I. Campbell is displayed on our StoryWalk®.
