Junior Field Experience

Kids 11 and under can enjoy their own excavation at the archaeological site. 

They are guaranteed to find artifacts. They will be using the same techniques that our staff archaeologists use in the main unit with visitors and volunteers (excavation, screening, artifact analysis), only in a controlled setting that can prevent damage to the archaeological features. The junior experience includes a nature walk around the archaeological site, talks with staff archaeologists over at the main unit excavation and hands-on work in their Junior Unit. Staff will guide them through the experience, but a parent or guardian must be present.

Includes:
All required equipment, gloves, and learning materials.

Transportation:
No transportation included at this time. Parent or guardian must provide transportation to excavation site. Directions to site will be given to the guardian at the Base Camp at the registered meeting time.
