March Break Camp

March Break Poster 2013Huronia Museum will be holding a March Break Camp from March 11th to 15th.  Campers will make crafts, play games and enjoy a fun day at Huronia Museum.  We will go skating at the North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre each day.  Children must provide their own equipment for this.  We will also be sledding on Campbell’s Hill each day, if weather conditions permit.

The camp will run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Pick-up after 4:00).  The cost is $22 per camper.  Because space in this camp is limited pre-registration is strongly recommended.

For more information call us at 705-526-2844.  We accept registration over the phone or in person.
