Our Summer Campers spent the week learning about the Ice Age, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, Kumeyaay lifeways, and Ancient Greece. Through hands-on activities like crafting clay tablets, making clay bricks, playing traditional games, and creating art, each day offered new ways to engage with archaeology.

Thank you to all the amazing campers who made this week so meaningful. We loved seeing your curiosity and creativity in action!
