Join us at our DCLT Headquarters’ Not Enough Acres Farm, August 28th-September 25th for a StoryWalk^® featuring The Camping Trip, a children’s picture book written and illustrated by Jennifer K. Mann about a young city girl named Ernestine who goes on her very first camping adventure.

In this charming tale, a young girl named Ernestine prepares for her very first camping trip with her aunt and cousin, full of excitement and careful preparation. Despite her enthusiasm, she soon discovers that the wilderness poses unexpected challenges, from setting up the tent to navigating the lake, as detailed by Candlewick Press and Goodreads. Author Jennifer K. Mann brings her own experiences to this illustrated story, which explores themes of stepping out of one’s comfort zone and creating lasting memories.

*This is a self-led walk through a trail on our property that meanders through a meadow and leads out to the marsh at Sesuit Creek. Suitable for ages 3-7 years of age (but we think anyone will like it and taking a walk on our property!)

This StoryWalk^® is in collaboration with our friends at Cape Cod Children’s Place and The Dennis Libraries.
