Destination-Imagination: Literacy Programming for Kids and Adults

In collaboration with READ Saskatoon, the CDM is excited to be presenting a morning literacy day camp for families:

Program: Romp n Read

Preschoolers and their parents or caregivers will participate in a variety of interactive literacy activity stations. The activity stations include finger plays, storytelling, games, crafts, social and literacy skills.

When: June 22 - 26, 2015
Time: 9:30 am to 12:00 pm

Location: Children's Discovery Museum - Market Mall

This day camp is free of charge but registration is required as spots are limited. We encourage one adult for every 2 kids. Childcare will be provided during adult sessions.

Ask us about our public transit assistance if getting to and from the museum at these times is challenging. We are happy to help.

We gratefully acknowledge the City of Saskatoon for their support and funding for this project.
