Last week, Huronia Museum hosted a New Year’s-themed day camp.  Campers made glittery “fireworks” and rang in 2012 with snacks and sparkling apple juice.

Happy New Year!

What to do with the kids this Christmas?

Everyone loves the holidays.  Getting a little time off work and school is great, but mom and dad don’t usually get as much time off as the kids.  Then the question becomes, what to do with the kids this Christmas?

Huronia Museum has the answer.  We are running New Years camp from January 3 to 6.  We will spend our days playing games, doing crafts, going public skating and getting as much fresh air as we can.  If mother nature cooperates we may even go tobogganing.  It is a chance for kids to get out of the house and keep busy, spend time with old friends and maybe make some new ones.  Our week of fun with conclude with a camp New Years Party!

This camp will run each day from 9 am to 5 pm for children ages 5-12.  You can sign up for all 4 days or just pick the ones you need.  The cost is $22 per day and pre-registration is strongly recommended as we have a limited number of spaces available.  Just fill out the PA Day Registration Form and return it to the museum.

For more information you can call us at 705-526-2844 or email at education@huroniamuseum.com.
