Join us for a week of special presentations all about tanks and armoured vehicles!"March Break Tank School" is a special daily presentation series all about the many aspects of tanks and armoured vehicles. Discover what it takes to deploy these incredible military machines in battle, from the different types of vehicles used in military forces, to their weapons, and the people who operate them.
"March Break Tank School" is not a March Break camp, and children should always visit with an adult.
Presentations begin daily at 1:00 PM:
Monday: Tea in a Tank! Food and Drinks in Armoured Vehicles
Did you know it is possible to make tea, other drinks, and even entire meals in a tank? Discover all the food, drink, and other ration options that keep tank crews fed for battle. Bring your own mug and teabag to enjoy a hot drink just like a tank crew!
Tuesday: Firing Now! Weapons Used On and Against Tanks
Tanks bring powerful weapons to the fight, and it takes just as big a weapon to stop them. See examples of the cannons, machine guns, bazookas, mines, and other tank and anti-tank weapons in the museum's collection!
Wednesday: There's Your Seat: The Roles of the Tank Crew
It takes a specially trained team to run a powerful war machine. Join in a fun activity to find out how the different roles and jobs of each tank crew member and how they help make the mission succeed.
Thursday: Bring Your Kit: Tank Equipment and Tools
A specially trained team needs specialty equipment to do their jobs. Find out all about the tools, equipment, and other essential items that tank crew members wear and use to protect themselves and keep their tank rolling!
Friday: Hiding in Plain Sight: Paint Your Own Camouflage, a Paint-and-Sip Activity with "Crafted. Art Bar"
