Crafts in the Park 2021
Crafts in the Park is going virtual again this summer! The Whistler Museum and the Whistler Public Library have teamed up again to present Crafts FROM the Park, offering a different craft every week from July 15 through August 26. Each Thursday we will share a video filmed in Florence Petersen Park to share a little about Whistler’s history and lead you through a craft project.
You’ll find the video on Facebook, on the Museum’s YouTube channel, and right here! Families can sign up with the Whistler Library to receive weekly craft supply packages (register here) and we will also share the craft supply list for each week. Please note that these crafts may require some parental assistance!
We love seeing what they create, so please consider sending pictures of the craft to programcoord@ whistlermuseum.org!
Crafts in the Park is supported by the Whistler Museum, Whistler Public Library, and the Province of British Columbia.
