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 Medicine pouches 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, kick the can and potato-sack racing!

 

Children ages 6-10 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; if you register for the whole
summer, your child will get a free t-shirt! Pre-registration and pre-payment
preferred. Private group bookings are also available on alternate days. 

 

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

 

Summer is fast approaching so do not miss the opportunity to bring your kids
to a fun-filled historical experience!  For more information or to register,
call Community Programs Coordinator, Beth Harris, at 604-826-1011, email

extended summer open hours: 10am-4pm, Wednesday-Friday, and 1pm-4pm on
Saturdays.

 

The Mission Museum is located in Mission City, BC, Canada, and we are
