Jr. Docent Camp Application

The Jr. Docent Program at the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula is an opportunity for young people in the Missoula area to learn about the inner workings of museums. Through the program, participants will be a part of a team that will become educational leaders and tour guides at HMFM. Each Jr. Docent will learn about the history of the many exhibits at the museum, and how to present those exhibits to museum patrons. These duties will require the docents to interact with and teach the wide range of individuals who visit the museum each year. In addition to gaining knowledge about tour presentation, the participants will learn from our museum curator about the process of curating artifacts at the museum (how artifacts are received, documented and displayed in exhibits). Each docent will be able to harness their own skills and choose the aspect of museum work with which they feel most connected, and they will be able to specialize in that area during their time as a Jr. Docent.

Training Week: June 17th-June 21st 12:00-4:00 (early drop off may be available) *Friday is optional
