Life-enriching experiences through comprehensive arts education for children and youth

Located along The Bascom Nature Trail, and connected to the Highlands Plateau Greenway, the Story Walk offers the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while reading about "Cowee Sam"

"Cowee Sam", by Claire Suminski is an interactive experience. There are activites for everyone to participate in as they walk the trail. Run like a fox and scoop up hens with Farmer Joe as you follow Cowee Sam's adventures as he watches over the animals in his barnyard.
