Discover Minneapolis' past and present in a fun-filled week at Mill City Museum and Minnesota Center for Book Arts. Campers aged 9-11 will spend each morning at Mill City Museum exploring a different museum theme through a variety of activities. Campers will create a photographic history of the area, bake bread, tour St. Anthony Falls lock and dam, create recipes in the Baking Lab, hike the Minneapolis riverfront, and participate in several hands-on projects. After lunch, campers will walk to Minnesota Center for Book Arts for related book projects. These include making a journal to record memories throughout the week, operating the printing press to produce illustrations for a recipe book, making paper and constructing other book projects.

Participants should be dropped off and picked up each day at Mill City Museum. Early drop-off at 8:30am and late pickup by 4:00pm will be available.
