Admission – Pay What You Can

Hey, parents and grandparents! Looking for something fun to do with the kiddos this March Break? Why not swing by one – or more! – of Norfolk County’s three museums for a quick afternoon crafting session?

From Wednesday through Friday during March Break, the Delhi Tobacco Museum & Heritage Centre, Port Dover Harbour Museum, and Waterford Heritage & Agricultural Museum will each have a different fun craft for kids ages 5-10.

Feel free to come back each day for a new craft! And don’t forget to take a look around the museum and complete a seasonal scavenger hunt while you’re here.

Can’t wait to see you!

APR 15, JUN 5 & JUN 26
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM

Learn, explore and create on your PA Days at Norfolk’s museums. We’ll have a special drop-in activity or craft ideal for grades K-4. Make something special while learning more about the museum. A seasonal scavenger hunt will also be available for our tiny visitors.

Admission by donation.

Staff at Norfolk County’s museums know that youth volunteers can offer something unique to our summer camp and March Break programs. Whether you have a special talent to share or just enjoy working with kids, we would love to have you participate in our Youth Volunteer and Mentorship Program.

Volunteering is a great way for teens to begin to build a resume, earn school volunteer hours, make new friends, gain references, and develop leadership skills.

This program is offered to youth ages 14 and older.

Before they can begin to volunteer, all youths are required to attend an orientation day at one of the museums:

Orientation Day
MAY 30
10:00 AM – 12:30 PM

• Delhi Tobacco Museum & Heritage Centre
• Port Dover Harbour Museum
• Waterford Heritage & Agricultural Museum

This short session includes an introduction to the museum, Health & Safety and AODA training, a fun museum challenge, and a pizza lunch. After successful completion of the museum orientation, youth volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in programming.

 Volunteers will be scheduled based on need.
