Session 1, August 5-9, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (Ages 7-11)
Kids explore nature, science and culture in this hands-on archaeology camp. Campers will dig at our mock excavation site and research their findings back at the classroom “lab”.  Kids will also make their own baskets, cordage, and beads to take home and join in group games and activities.  Using cooperation and imagination, campers will appreciate Oregon’s past and consider how we can protect our future. This session is best for children new to the museum.
