Pick and Choose Your Activities!
So many ways to participate!
1. Pre-register your child 6-11 for the morning sessions, 9am-12pm. $45/morning/child. Online registration ends 48 hours before the session. To register less than 48 hours prior to the session, please phone the Museum at 250-642-6351.
2. Take your chance and drop-in.
3. Just want to try the activities and not stay for the full morning? Activities are set up at the Museum from 9am-12pm, priced individually, all ages (yes, that means adults too!)
Kids will participate in fun skill-building workshops. Outdoor time and games included – all on the grounds and in the historic buildings of the Sooke Region Museum.
Skill-building sessions will focus on homesteading skills inspired by Moss Cottage, including making butter, bread, jam, sewing – life skills just as important today as they were in 1902!
