Story Path is a fun way to get outside, get moving, and enjoy a fun book! You can find the Story Path in a variety of Frederick County Parks during the summer and fall months. Check the Livewell Frederick website for the schedule of books and a locations. Once you are in the park, look for the start flag. It will lead you to signs which are placed along a paved walking path. As you walk along the path, there will be signs that show individual pages of a book. By the time you reach the end of the path, you will have read the entire thing! Books are typically most appropriate for elementary school age children and focus on physical activity, healthy eating, gardening, getting outside, and more. 

Check out our FCS Blog, Breathing Room. Every Thursday, our educators post articles with tips for living well, eating healthy, being active, managing your finances, understanding your health insurance and more! These aren't hard to understand, technical articles. They are short, sweet, and to the point posts focused on things you might find useful.
