Come join us for our archaeology summer camp! You will learn about past cultures around the world, how they lived, and how to identify artifacts from the past. You will learn how to do laboratory work and archaeological digs of possible structures and past human occupation alongside our professionals.
Our camps inspire interest in science and history by involving hands-on and mind-on activities for kids to learn about archaeology, conservation, and scientific discovery.
