June 21: Storytime in the Pines

Wharton State Forest staff invite you to Storytime in the Pines, a free monthly Storytime and craft program. Join us once a month from June through October under the trees beside the Annie Carter Nature Center in historic Batsto Village.
Storytime begins at 10 a.m. outside the Nature Center and lasts about 20 minutes, followed by a craft indoors. Children may sit on our outdoor rug or caregivers are welcome to bring their own seating. Please wear insect repellent and sunscreen, bring water, and dress for the outdoors.
For this month's program, we will be reading "Beavers" by Gail Gibbons and completing a beaver‑themed craft. This month's program is recommended for children ages four to eight.
This program is free, but you must register, and space is limited! When you register, you are only registering for this month's program.
The Batsto Visitor Center is located at 31 Batsto Road, Hammonton, NJ 08037 in Historic Batsto Village. For more information or to confirm, please call the Batsto Visitor Center at 609-561-0024.
