S'mores Storytime

Listen to some verses about vultures, take a walk with a ranger, and make a s'more at our campfire.

Our story this time is Vulture View, by April Pulley Sayre. We'll learn about these often-misunderstood creatures, then take a short hike to see if we can see any soaring above. After, there will be s'mores at the campfire.

Who is invited:

All are welcome, but this activity is best for ages 5-10 years. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or guardian. No pets please. This is a public program intended for families. If you would like to bring a group for a program at Government Canyon, please contact the Park Interpreter at Lisa.Cole@tpwd.texas.gov to schedule at a different time. 

Where to meet:

This activity meets at the Amphitheater, near the Frontcountry Trailhead. Lot C will be the closest parking. There is a gravel path leading from the parking lot to the amphitheater, a distance of about 120'. The amphitheater is near an accessible restroom.
