The Rossland Museum has another exciting round of weekly programs! On Tuesday mornings, little ones ages 2-5 can learn, play, and craft away at Cub Club. Later that day, we have our ecology-themed after-school program – Young Naturalists (ages 6-12), where we immerse ourselves in the natural world and learn all about the local environment. Kids have been really *digging* our Thursday geology-themed after-school program – Rockhounds (ages 6-12). Finally, you won’t want to miss S.T.E.A.M. Saturdays – an all-ages drop-in program featuring a new science experiment, educational activity, or art project each week. Full details on our website at www.rosslandmuseum.ca/kids-programs.
