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!

Catch the De Menezes Reilly Irish Dancers to see traditional Irish dancing. Adding to the fun, children will have the exciting opportunity to learn some Irish dance steps and experience the joy of this cultural tradition firsthand so bring your dancing shoes! Presented in partnership with Seaway Mall.

Beginning Wednesday, July 9, Market Square will be the place to be. Enjoy local food trucks and exciting entertainment. Whether you want a tasty bite after work or a convenient dinner to take home, this is the perfect way to make the most of your summer evenings.

Stay tuned for weekly announcements on the Recreation and Welland Market Facebook pages to find out which food trucks will be serving up delicious eats at Market Square. Please note that seating is limited, so make sure to arrive early to secure your spot. Please don't forget to bring your own chair.

On Wednesday nights this summer, fire trucks and fire prevention staff will visit various parks from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., transforming trucks into giant sprinklers. Attendees will also get to tour the trucks and learn about fire safety. Hot Summer Nights is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together, learn about fire safety, and enjoy some summer fun!
