Thank You for all of your help in December!
December was a blast for CMoR and all of our Volunteers! Everyone helped all over the museum, from the Art Studio to the Exhibit Space, to all of our special events like Legendary Santa, Tea with Santa, Holiday Characters, the Gingerbread Festival, and more! These events would not have been possible without YOU. Overall, CMoR Volunteers and Groups donated over 700 hours of their time in December!

Museum Manners!
 
When you volunteer please keep in mind the CMoR dress code, khaki or black pants and  closed toed shoes. Since you are directly interacting with children and their family, It is important to create a professional look for everyone working at CMoR! Remember that you are a representative of the Children's Museum. Please remember that cell phones are not allowed out on the museum floor. Please go to the volunteer room during a break to make any calls or send text messages.
Spring Break Camp 
 
Do you want to spend Spring Break helping kids age 2-9 have fun with cooking, art, and more? Then Spring Break Camps are right for you! We have both full day and half day camp sessions April 5th-9th! To help with camps you must be at least a high school freshman, or a returning camp volunteer. If you are interested, e-mail [email protected].
 
We are also starting to recruit volunteers for Summer Camp 2010 !
