QUALITY STORYTENTS

A resource for family, early childhood and community literacy workers


IV. How To Deliver A Quality Storytent


The Storytent program is an outdoor program. Delivering the program in all conditions is another feature of the continuity and commitment we feel children and families deserve.

Before setting out, workers need to consider where they are going and in what weather. Then, they need to decide how much material they can reasonably transport, unpack, use and repack. This will allow them to prioritize and create an appropriate mix of resources.

We have provided sample "Sunny Day" and "Rainy Day" set-up lists from our 2003 program, as well as some concrete tips. However, it will be through trial and error that individual programs will find the right balance.
