Can You Dig It? (Grades 4-5)
Can You Dig It?
You may not own a bull whip or wear a fedora like Indiana Jones, but those aren’t required to become a storied archaeologist. In this camp you’ll employ a variety of skills to unearth treasured artifacts. You’ll experiment with ways to clean and preserve artifacts, and recreate the stories of the people who left the artifacts behind. This camp culminates with the production of a short film about the artifacts and what can be learned from them.
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Ages: Students entering grades 4-5
Registration: Members $290, nonmembers $3150
Notes: Early drop-off starting at 8:00am – $20 per week; Late pick up 4:00-5:30pm – $30 per week
