Story time is back this summer at Nature At The Confluence! Gather with us on Friday mornings for a fun and engaging outdoor reading experience designed especially for little ones.

Each week, children will enjoy stories and activities under the shade of our beautiful cottonwood tree. Along the way, they’ll be introduced to local plants and animals to help grow their nature vocabulary—and they’ll also learn a bit of American Sign Language.

This series is ideal for ages 3 to 5, but siblings are always welcome to join in.

Please register in advance—space is limited! Thanks to generous support from the Judith H. Adams Fund for the purpose of nature literacy, you can use the coupon code story2025 for free admission.
