Through the excitement of discovery, children attending the archaeology camps will learn about the world around them, as well as about those who came before them. The program is a hands-on, activity-based look at archaeology in which students will become familiar with basic archaeological excavation techniques and ancient civilizations. To accommodate this hands-on approach, children will participate in an excavation conducted on a simulated site on university property for part of each day.
