4-Day 'Books, Baking and Beyond Day Camp' at Mill City Museum for Kids Aged 9-11

While talking with a staff member earlier this week, I was surprised to learn there are still a few spots available for this year's 4-day 'Books, Baking and Beyond Day Camp' at Mill City Museum, scheduled for June 30 - July 3 (9:00am to 3:30pm daily).
If Dave and I had kids, nieces, nephews or grandkids in the 9-11 age bracket, we would for sure enroll them in this camp. Here's a description of the program:
Discover Minneapolis' past and present in a fun-filled week at Mill City Museum and Minnesota Center for Book Arts. Campers ages 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.
The fee is $250 ($225 for MNHS members), and reservations are required - call 612-341-7556 or register online.
