Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 1 (Ages 7-8)
Kick off the summer with an exciting journey into Earth's prehistoric past. Campers will explore fossil excavation techniques, learning how to carefully dig and chisel to uncover ancient treasures. This week focuses on hands-on discovery, teaching campers about different prehistoric creatures and the environments they lived in. Activities include fossil identification, creating plaster casts, and interactive storytelling about the age of dinosaurs.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 2 (Ages 7-8)
This week, campers dive deeper into paleontology by examining the tools and methods used by real scientists. They will participate in simulated digs, learning how to document and preserve their finds. The camp emphasizes teamwork and scientific inquiry as campers reconstruct ancient skeletons and create their own prehistoric dioramas. Expect plenty of hands-on activities that bring Earth's history to life.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 3 (Ages 7-8)
Campers explore the fascinating world of prehistoric plants and animals this week. Through interactive activities, they will learn how fossils tell stories about ancient ecosystems. Projects include creating fossil rubbings, assembling 3D models of prehistoric creatures, and participating in nature walks to compare modern and ancient life. This week encourages curiosity and hands-on exploration of Earth's distant past.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 4 (Ages 7-8)
This week focuses on the geology behind fossil formation. Campers will learn about rock types, sediment layers, and how fossils are preserved over millions of years. Activities include rock identification, creating sedimentary layers in jars, and exploring the museum's geology exhibits. The week culminates in a creative project where campers design their own fossil storybooks.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 5 (Ages 7-8)
Campers investigate the lives of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures through hands-on activities and interactive games. They will learn about different species, their habitats, and behaviors. Highlights include building dinosaur skeleton models, participating in a fossil scavenger hunt, and creating prehistoric art inspired by cave paintings.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 6 (Ages 7-8)
This week is all about the science of excavation. Campers will learn how paleontologists carefully uncover fossils without damaging them. They will practice using brushes, chisels, and other tools on simulated dig sites. The camp also includes lessons on how fossils are cleaned, preserved, and studied in labs, giving campers a full picture of the excavation process.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 7 (Ages 7-8)
Campers explore the diversity of prehistoric life beyond dinosaurs, including ancient mammals, marine reptiles, and early birds. Through fossil study and creative projects, they will learn how these creatures adapted to their environments. Activities include making fossil imprints, interactive quizzes, and a collaborative mural depicting prehistoric ecosystems.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 8 (Ages 7-8)
This week focuses on the technology and tools used in modern paleontology. Campers will explore how scientists use 3D scanning, computer modeling, and other innovations to study fossils. Hands-on activities include creating digital fossil replicas and designing their own excavation tools. The camp encourages critical thinking and introduces campers to STEM careers related to Earth sciences.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 9 (Ages 7-8)
Campers investigate the role of climate and environmental change in shaping prehistoric life. They will study how fossils reveal shifts in habitats and species over time. Activities include creating climate timelines, analyzing fossil pollen, and participating in group discussions about extinction events. This week blends science with storytelling to deepen understanding of Earth's dynamic history.
Can You Dig It? Summer Camp - Week 10 (Ages 7-8)
In the final week, campers synthesize their knowledge by designing and presenting their own paleontology exhibits. They will curate fossil collections, create informative displays, and share their discoveries with peers and family. This culminating project fosters creativity, communication skills, and a lasting appreciation for Earth's prehistoric past.
