Get ready for a summer of exploration and fun with Wacky Wednesday, our exciting summer reading program for kids preschool age through third grade!

Running from June 19th to July 17th, 2024, Wacky Wednesday offers children a chance to delve into the wonders of nature at Rader Park.

Located at 1899 Apostles Way, Lancaster, PA 17603, follow signs to the end behind Homestead Village, Wacky Wednesday will take place every Wednesday from 10-11:30 AM. This completely free community program is open to anyone but is geared towards children ages 10 and younger.

Each session promises an adventure as children discover the fascinating critters inhabiting the park’s pond, including turtles and herons. While pre-registration isn’t mandatory, we highly encourage it. Caregivers are also required to accompany the children.

July 3rd brings us face-to-face with snakes, and on July 10th, we’ll marvel at the beautiful herons that call Rader Park home. The program culminates on July 17th with a special presentation by Lisa Sanchez.

Join us for Wacky Wednesday and embark on a journey of discovery and learning right in the heart of Rader Park!
