The Family Fun Hour is held on the third Wednesday of each month with additional events during the summer. Each event is open to the public, including large groups; however children ages 3 – 10 must be accompanied by a parent. (One parent for every two children please.) Participation is free, but registration required by contacting the Reserve at (904)823-4500. All materials for the event will be supplied.

 

  • Wed, Nov 19, 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
    This event will feature the children’s story Blackberry Banquet by author Terry Pierce, with illustrations by Lisa Downey. Mmm-mm! Forest animals squeak, tweet, slurp, yip and chomp over the sweet, plump fruit of a wild blackberry bush. But what happens when a bear arrives to take part in the feast? Young children will enjoy following the story by making the animal sounds, and the chaos that strikes upon the bear's arrival will surely bring on the laughter. The story will be followed by a fun craft activity for participants to take home.
     
  • Wed, Dec 17, 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
    The featured story will be Stranger in the Woods, by authors and noted wildlife photographers Carl R. Sams II and Jean Stoick. The story will be followed by a creative craft activity for participants to take home.
