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 staff 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, Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner is displayed on our StoryWalk®.
