Summer Fun Awaits in Loyalist Township’s Free Learning Labs

A Summer of Discovery, Craft, and Play

This summer, Loyalist Township is turning idle curiosity into interactive adventure with Exploration Days—a free weekly workshop series designed to blend learning and fun at two charming locations:

• Babcock Mill in Odessa
• Bath Museum & Visitors Centre

From July to August, every Thursday and Friday, families can drop in between 10 AM and noon for hands-on workshops—no registration required. Each session is a playful dive into local history, skills, and creativity, transforming ordinary afternoons into memorable experiences.

Babcock Mill: Where Hands-On Learning Builds Lasting Memories

At Babcock Mill, the focus is on crafting tangible treasures—things you can hold, use, and take home.

• Forest Workshop: Transform raw materials into art using sticks, bark, and leaves.
• Wire & Basket Weaving: Bend pliable wire into patterns or craft baskets inspired by early settlers.
• Model Train & Trolley Rides: A nostalgic final-week activity that lets families relive vintage transport.

No two Thursdays are alike—local artists and skilled workers collaborate to ensure fresh projects, keeping the excitement alive week after week.
