Summer Kids' Club at the Mission Museum!

Mission, BC - Looking for something for the kids to do this summer?  Bring them to the Mission Museum where they can discover the joy of history!  The Mission Museum is proud to host our annual Kids' Club program every Friday through July and August.

This year, kids can explore the famous Mission Soapbox Derby in Derby or Bust!, learn the skills of hand and machine sewing in Quilting Bee, experience aspects of another culture in Mission's Old Chinatown, recreate the story of the infamous Billy Miner and the Great Train Robbery in Hands Up!, make cedar bracelets and ceremonial talking sticks in People of the River, churn butter and do laundry like the pioneers of Mission in Little House on the Flats, write a letter with quill and ink, and seal it with wax in Signed, Sealed & Delivered, and have some old-fashioned fun with Pioneer Games like hopscotch, ring toss and potato-sack racing!

Children ages 5-10 are welcome to join us at the Museum every Friday from 1-3pm, for a 2-hour session of activities, crafts and stories, while exploring Mission's history.  Parents are not required to stay.  Cost is $8 per child per session or $60 for all 8 weeks; pre-registration and pre-payment preferred.  Register before June 25th and pay only $7 per child per session or $50 for all 8 weeks.  Private group bookings are also available.

We are also looking for volunteers to assist with this program so please led a hand!

Summer is fast approaching so do not miss the opportunity to bring your kids to a fun-filled historical experience!
