The Souris Valley (SV) Museum always has something fun for kids of different ages, and the spring break time wasn’t an exception. This year, the museum organized two spring camps.
The one for kids of three to five years of age was called Spring in Bloom. The registration closed about a week prior to the camp with it being filled to capacity. With the help of museum director/curator Mark Veneziano young students learned all about spring.
“We are learning about flowers, trees and spring animals,” said Veneziano.
The first day was dedicated to flowers. Kids were decorating flowerpots, painting and had some outdoor activities.
The other camp, called All about Bugs, was developed for older kids of six to 10 years of age. This is the first time the museum offered this program.
“In the bug camp, we are going to be learning all about different types of bugs that are from Saskatchewan as well as about bugs from around the world. We are going to be doing some science experiments here as well, trying to see about catching some bugs and learning about their life cycles,” said Veneziano.
Both camps promise to be interesting and will help kids learn something new in a fun way. The attendants of the All about Bugs camp will also go to the schoolhouse to explore how pioneers learned about science.
There are still a couple of spots available for the All about Bugs camp.
Spring in Bloom is a morning camp that lasts for three days, while the other one lasts for four days, 1-4 p.m.
SV Museum keeps having its monthly “I am” days for three to five-year-olds. Summer camps will start the first week of July, and the registration is currently open.
