PA Day at the Museum - Trick-or-Treat!

Trick-or-Treat PD Day Camp at the Museum Join us for a spook-tacular PA Day adventure at the museum! While school's out, campers will dive into a day of Halloween-themed fun and creativity, all centred around our "Trick-or-Treat" theme. Kids will get hands-on, carving their very own pumpkins (with careful adult supervision, of course!), designing fun and festive Halloween-inspired art projects, and exploring the museum's galleries with a spooky twist. Whether they're painting ghosts, crafting paper bats, or decorating treat bags for trick-or-treating, there's something to spark every young artist's imagination. Costumes optional but encouraged! Camp is for kids aged 8 to 13. Drop-off time starts at 8:45, and pick-up is at 4 pm. Camp Highlights: Pumpkin carving and decorating Halloween-themed arts & crafts Guided museum exploration with a Halloween twist Treat bag decorating Fun group activities and games Perfect for a PA Day off school, this camp blends creativity, hands-on crafting, and museum exploration into one memorable, festive day. Frequently asked questions Am I to send a lunch with my child? Yes, please send a nut-free lunch and two snacks/drinks with your child. There will be no access to a refrigerator, so please pack accordingly. The Museum has water fountains, so sending your child with a refillable water bottle is advisable. What should my child wear? Your child can wear whatever they like, even a costume! We love seeing our campers embrace the theme of the day. However, kids should wear things they don't mind getting messy or possibly getting paint on. How many children are in each program? Programs are limited to 12 children. The Museum reserves the right to cancel programs due to under-registration. In this case, all existing registrants will be notified, and a full refund will be issued. What if I have to cancel my registration? No refunds will be given for cancellations made less than one week in advance. A credit for a future program may be given to participants who cancel three days (full 72 hours) before the program start time. No credit will be given to “no shows” or to cancellations with less than 72 hours’ notice. What if my child has special needs? If your child has any special needs, details must be included with your registration form. Please note that staff are not trained to work with special needs or medical support. However, if your child requires an adult assistant, they are welcome to accompany the child to camp free of charge. Who will be supervising my child? The Education Department’s great staff and volunteers are trained, experienced individuals who have submitted current Criminal Background Checks and are certified in Standard First Aid and CPR. The minimum ratio of supervisors to participants is 1:7. Am I required to send my child with any materials from home? For this camp, absolutely nothing!
