KENNEBUNK — Children ages 6-10 are invited to join the Brick Store Museum’s new summer camps this year.

Each camp will be a week long, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to noon. Camps will be held at the museum at 117 Main St.

”¢ Museum Discovery Camp, from July 21-25, will give children a real, behind-the-scenes look at the museum. Campers will learn about collecting, museums and exhibit design through indoor and outdoor activities, crafts and games. The campers will explore deep into storage, and experience what it’s like to be a curator by putting together their own exhibition, which will be put on display.

”¢ Victory Garden Camp will take place July 28 to Aug. 1. Campers can expect to spend most of the time elbow-deep in dirt, plants and bugs in the Victory Garden in the museum’s garden space. Inspired by the current exhibition, “Vitamin V: How Food Fought the Second World War,” children will learn about all things green as they explore the gardens and exercise their green thumbs. A field trip to Spiller Farm will also take place during the week.

Snacks will be provided. There is a limit of 10 campers each week.

Deadline for registration is Monday, June 30. Register online at www.brickstoremuseum.org/programs or call the museum at 985-4802.
