Become an archaeologist for a day! Discover archaeology and history through fun, interactive, hands-on, landscape based activities designed for kids aged 5 to 15.
This one day camp will include a visit to an archaeology lab and a 500 year-old archaeological site, a bison rubbing stone, traditional skills projects, hiking in the sandhills, and a mock excavation. During the course of the day, campers will develop a basic understanding of archaeology through experiential hands-on activities taught by an archaeologist.
At the end of the day get your very own stone arrowhead and Junior Archaeologist certificate.
