Are you looking to give your kids the adventure of a lifetime this summer? This year, the Museum of Antiquities is offering three exciting Ancient & Medieval Adventures Packs that will bring all the fun of the Ancient & Medieval Adventures Camps directly to your home! Each box combines games, crafts, lessons, and activities from 3-4 of our favourite camps, put together in an at-your-own-pace engagement style. In-box content will include craft supplies, game and game instructions, activity and colouring sheets, souvenirs and more.
Each camp will also include a selection of video lessons and craft demonstrations accessible via password-protected pages on our WordPress site.
Adventures Packs will be available for pickup or delivery in July. Each package will also include access to two optional virtual workshops, where kids will meet with other adventurers to learn about an additional culture not included in their box before putting together a craft or joining in an activity with the instruction of museum staff.
Want to see what the Ancient & Medieval Adventures Camps have in store for your kids? Check out the tabs below!
We eagerly look forward to “seeing” you all once again this summer.

Ancient Adventures Package
Ages 9 - 11
For 9-11 year old Adventurers, we have combined our most popular camps into the ultimate adventuring experience! Crafts, lessons, and activities from our Voyages with Vikings and Roaming Romans camps will immerse children in the cultures of the past as they become gladiators, learn to navigate the seas, and travel the Nine Realms! In Around the Ancient World, travelers will discover the arts and inventions of ancient Koreans and Aztecs. Finally, in our all-new Games of the Gods camp, adventurers will learn to juggle like the Egyptians, put on their own Japanese shadow plays, and master beloved board games from thousands of years ago. This camp will leave adventurers with a chest full of games and activities to play with a friend on a rainy day!
Mondays at the Museum workshop dates: July 26th and August 16th at 1:00-3:00pm CST.
Nine Men's Morris is an ancient game that has been around for so long that its origins have been lost to history! Not only did the Vikings play it, but so did the Egyptians and the Romans. Learn more about this game and follow the instructions to play it!
Magewarts School of Magic Pack for Ages 8 - 11
Magewarts School of Magic Package
Ages 8 - 11
This package combines all three of our Magewarts camps into one mega-camp experience! Begin with Magewarts Academy, where your child will be sorted into our exclusive Magewarts School of Magic before learning to make potions, cast spells with their very own wand, and unlock the secrets of the cosmos. Next, Magewarts Magical Creatures will have witches and wizards tame dragons, summon genies, and catch fairies in their own backyards. Finally, Magewarts Magic & Science will teach wizards the secrets behind their favourite magic tricks; watch as they learn how to reveal invisible messages, divine the future and more! Complete with a magical compendium where kids can write down all their newfound magical knowledge, the Magewarts Series has everything your child needs to become a bonafide spellcaster!
Mondays at the Museum workshop dates: July 19th and August 9th at 1:00-3:00pm CST.
Although not technically magic, this little box will certainly keep all of your treasures safe due to the seemingly magical puzzle mechanism!
Calling all witches and wizards! Take this printable bingo sheet with you on walks this spring and summer, or even into your backyard, and see how many species of plants and animals you can find! Maybe you can find some ingredients for your potions!
