About the WC Kids Club
Our mission is to provide your child with a fun yet educational experience where they learn all sorts of information about World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and, of course, Winston Churchill. Upon registration, the member will receive a WC Kids Club Savings Stamp Album. Upon date of registration, the member will receive one War Savings Stamp for each activity completed. Once all sixteen stamps are collected, the member will receive a history related prize. Each month the WC Kids Club member will receive an e-newsletter with that month’s calendar of events and club updates. Members also receive a birthday card that can be turned in for a special prize or free museum admission. Age Group
Children ages 6 to 12 Activities/Calendar of Events
There are a variety of activities scheduled in which members can receive stamps. Ones specifically for younger children are our Children’s Programs, which are once a month. Savings Album and Prizes
All children must be signed up in order to receive a Savings Stamp Album and War Savings Stamps. Please have children bring their Album to each activity. Club Fees
Registration for WC Kids Club is FREE. However, there may be fees associated with individual activities (not to exceed $5.00). Please Take Note
At least one parent must accompany their child for every activity. Disclaimer
Photographs will be taken at every event. You will be asked to sign a release form stating the National Churchill Museum has permission to use the photographs. If this is a problem, you must speak with the Education & Public Programs Coordinator.
