While Hutchison House is not able to accomodate Day Camps at the museum at this time, we would like to bring the museum to you! Hutchison House staff have prepared instructional videos and materila kits for three of our most popular day camp programs: Bookbinding, Teddy Bears and Woodland Fairies and Toadstools. Instructional videos can be found by going to the Hutchison House YouTube channel or by following the links below. Material Kits can be purchased from the museum at a cost of $15 each or 2 for $25. For inquiries about our day camp kits or to purchase please contact the museum at 705-743-9710.

Bookbinding

In this kit children will create their very own hand crafted journal. Your child will not only feel satisfaction for making their own book and personalizing it however they would like, but it will also make a great space for them to store memories.

Check out the Bookbinding instructional video.

Teddy Bears

A hands-on activity, children will love making their very own teddy bear. Many different skills are involved in the creation of this toy, with a final result that is oh, so satisfying.

Check out the Teddy Bear instructional video.

Woodland Fairies and toadstools

Fairies and elves were both good and bad, pranksters and helpful. They were the guardians of nature, woodland animals and gardens. They were helpful if you respected them, but caused problems when you didn’t. In this kit children will create their own fairy out of a variety of materials.
