Paleo Pros Summer Camp - Week 2 (Ages 9-11)
This week, campers dive deeper into the world of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures. They will study different species, their habitats, and behaviors through interactive activities and fossil analysis. Campers will also engage in a mock excavation to uncover replica fossils and learn proper paleontological techniques.
Paleo Pros Summer Camp - Week 3 (Ages 9-11)
Campers explore the fascinating world of marine fossils and prehistoric ocean life. Through hands-on activities, they will examine fossilized shells, learn about ancient sea creatures, and participate in a simulated underwater fossil dig. This week emphasizes the diversity of life that once thrived beneath the waves.
Paleo Pros Summer Camp - Week 4 (Ages 9-11)
This week focuses on the Ice Age and the creatures that roamed during this chilly period. Campers will study mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and other megafauna through fossil examination and creative projects. They will also participate in a team fossil dig challenge to uncover Ice Age relics.
