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 on Fridays
through July and August. 

This year, kids can explore the famous Mission Soapbox Derby in Derby or
Bust!, churn butter and do laundry like the pioneers of Mission in Little
House on the Flats, learn the skills of hand and machine sewing in Quilting
Bee, recreate the story of the infamous Billy Miner and the Great Train
Robbery in Hands Up!, write a letter with quill and ink, and seal it with
wax in Signed, Sealed & Delivered, make Medicine pouches and ceremonial
talking sticks in People of the River, experience other rich cultures in
Multicultural Mission, 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 are
preferred. Private group bookings are also available on alternate days. 

We are also looking for volunteers to assist with this program - it's a fun
way to give back to the community!  Please note that you will be required to
pass a criminal record check prior to volunteering.

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, Oana Salcescu, at 604-826-1011, email
info at missionmuseum.com, or visit our website at www.missionmuseum.com.  You
can also drop by the Mission Museum, located at 33201 2nd Ave., during our
extended summer open hours: 10am-4pm, Wednesday-Friday, and 1pm-4pm on
Saturdays.

The Mission Museum is located in Mission City, BC, Canada. We are dedicated
to upholding the goals of the Mission District Historical Society through
"Recording our History, Educating the Community, Preserving our Heritage."
