While the older campers adventure into nature, camera in hand, the mini-campers will get a bit messy. We’ll discover strange and fascinating elements of the natural world and explore them creatively with paint and clay. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition will be a starting point for this playful hands-on camp.

Aspiring shutterbugs can develop their skills by participating in a photography-inspired camp. Campers will learn about photo composition and storytelling, venture to Beacon Hill Park to capture dynamic nature shots and explore the RBCM’s Natural History collection, as well as the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.

In 2018, Dr. Marcello Canuto, director of the Middle American Research Institute at Tulane University and co-director of the La Corona Regional Archaeological Project, led a team of archaeologists to new discoveries at the Maya site of La Corona, located in Petén, Guatemala. A nearly 1,500-year-old carved altar, the oldest found to date at the site, presents new evidence for how a powerful kingdom known as Kaanul dynasty began. This significant monument is currently on display in Maya: The Great Jaguar Rises. Includes pre-opening access to Maya: The Great Jaguar Rises exhibition.

FOR MEMBERS ONLY -

Join a tour for care providers (parents, grandparents, etc.) led by our Learning staff member, while at the same time enjoy themed childminding for your kids. This program allows care providers to feel more comfortable with their understanding of the galleries, in order to support their kids in their learning.

For select adult-focused events this year, we will be providing childminding as a support for families. The childminding will be hosted in the Royal BC Museum’s Learning Centre, and the activities will be related in an age-appropriate way to the theme of the adult event.
