What makes a good story? In parallel with our upcoming exhibition Family: Bonds and Belonging, campers will explore this question by uncovering stories within the museum's collections and from family histories. Fun field trips, engaging guest speakers and behind-the-scenes access will inspire campers to craft and share their own stories.

Our littlest campers will discover the basics of story-telling in this play-based morning camp. Exploring with word, song, picture and movement, campers will be introduced to story-telling in a fun, creative and supportive environment.

The Royal BC Museum is partnering with The Director's Cut to unleash campers' imagination and creativity this summer. Under the guidance of expert filmmakers, campers will use the latest in digital equipment to create a very short film or stop motion animation movie. Then family and friends will enjoy the films on the big screen at our Friday Popcorn Film Festival.
