About the event
Berks County Parks and Recreation brings its storytime program for young children to Gring's Mill Recreation Area, where a nature topic sets the theme for the morning. Each session pairs a story with a craft, giving toddlers and preschoolers a gentle introduction to the plants and animals that share the county's parks. Special guests sometimes stop by to join in.
Gring's Mill makes a fitting backdrop. The historic buildings there house the Berks County Parks and Recreation Department offices, with an information center, meeting space, and restrooms in the adjoining barn. The park sits along Tulpehocken Road next to the Penn State Berks campus, with walking paths and open space to enjoy before or after the program.
This one suits families with little ones who like to be read to and then get their hands busy. Dress for an October morning outdoors and plan to spend the hour exploring alongside your child.
