Welcome to Nelles Manor Museum Heritage Day Camp – an exciting blend of dynamic hands on experiences and fun-filled day camp.

This year we are three days: July 8, July 9 and July 10 for children ages 8-12!

Guided by a team of experienced counsellors and heritage professionals, campers will have hands on experience with historical life and times, create a craft project* and develop their own sense of curiosity. Participants will engage in open hearth cooking, mini militia and more! They will also participate in a guided tour of the museum and learn about artifacts from our collection.

There will be plenty of outdoor time on the beautiful grounds of Nelles Manor. We guarantee our campers will build new friendships and gain confidence while discovering their inner historian!

Embark on a unique adventure with our Enhanced Artillery Experience! This exclusive program provides participants with an in-depth historical and technical background on the 4” guns used aboard HMCS Haida during the Second World War and the Korean War.

Participants will have the rare opportunity to load and fire the 4” guns on-board HMCS Haida, guided by a team of expert Parks Canada staff. Feel the rush as you don historic gun crew gear and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of naval warfare.

Each ticket includes one complimentary spectator ticket. Spectators can watch but not participate in the Artillery Experience.

This enhanced program is available on a pre-booked basis only, offering an unforgettable experience for history enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
