Summer day camps at Orwell Corner

The PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation is offering summer day camps that give children a chance to experience life on Prince Edward Island in the early 1900s.

The camps run weekdays from July 6 to August 28 at Orwell Corner Historic Village for children aged 6 to 10.

“We’re excited to welcome kids to Orwell Corner and help them connect with the Island’s rural heritage,” said PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation executive director Matthew McRae. “These camps are a great way to learn by doing, and our goal is for every camper to experience history in a way that’s active, meaningful, and fun.”

Each day, campers take part in hands-on activities that show what daily life was like more than 100 years ago. They will learn how to churn butter, make ice cream, try blacksmithing, and help care for farm animals. Campers will also take part in crafts such as rope making, play traditional children’s games, and enjoy horse‑drawn wagon rides through the historic village.

Registration is now open and spaces are limited. Register at Orwell Corner Summer Camps.
