Thank You, Museums Association of Saskatchewan and the Government of Saskatchewan!
In July and August we offered a travel camp for youth 12 and up. We went on four day trips to 10 historically significant sites and museums. The majority of our youth had never been to these locations. We want to thank the Museums Association of Saskatchewan and the Government of Saskatchewan for their support in this venture. Our youth had so much fun as well as learning!
