AT THE MUSEUM SUMMER WISCONSIN VETERANS MUSEUM WISCONSIN VETERANS MUSEUM

students what it takes to run a museum. Our Summer Camp, When I Grow Up, I Want To Work In A Museum , was a week-long camp that brought students from sixth through eighth grades together to not only learn what it takes to run a museum, but also to assume the roles of museum leadership and create their own professional display. Each student took on the role of a department leader and each department was responsible for their aspect of an exhibit creation. The students chose the topic, exhibit design, research, and artifacts to go in the exhibit. This

‘crash course’ in a museum studies program turned into a successful week of collaboration, teamwork, and education.

The Wisconsin Veterans Museum is excited to offer this summer camp again in 2020. We will be offering two sessions of When I Grow Up, I Want To Work In A Museum beginning June 15th –

June 19 th, and again during the week of August 10th–August 14th. Each session runs Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. All camp activities take place at the Wisconsin www.WisVetsMuseum.com/events
