Peterborough Museum and Archives Celebrates Successful Summer Camp Season

Peterborough, ON - The Peterborough Museum and Archives (PMA) is proud to announce the successful completion of its 2025 summer camp season, made possible in large part thanks to funding from the Canada Summer Jobs and Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations.  

This vital support allowed the PMA to hire energetic and passionate young staff who played a crucial role in delivering a safe, fun and meaningful camp experience for children and youth. 

“The funding we received through the Canada Summer Jobs and Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations made a tremendous difference,” says Faryn Stanley, Museum Education Officer. “It allowed us to recruit talented young leaders, enhance our programming and ensure accessibility for families in our community.” 

The grants provided by Canada Summer Jobs, an initiative under the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment and Skills Strategy, and Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations, a federal program dedicated to youth employment and heritage administrated by the Canadian Museums Association, directly contributed to youth employment and skill-building. These programs not only helped the PMA meet staffing needs but also gave young people valuable experience in leadership, teamwork and community service. 

The Peterborough Museum and Archives extends sincere thanks to the Government of Canada, Canada Summer Jobs, and Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations for their ongoing investment in youth and community development.
