Programming at Touchstones
Family Day Workshops
The Family Days Workshop Series is the foundation of children's programming at Touchstones Nelson. Through these monthly programs, children are given the opportunity to take part in unique, hands-on activities that make history come alive. Touchstones Nelson also encourages the free exploration of personal expression and creative thinking through art-making.
