Calling all junior archaeologists! Jamestown Rediscovery at Historic Jamestowne is hosting a Kids Camp for the summer of 2024. Campers will be able to work on a real archaeological dig alongside the field team. The week-long camp will also be full of hands-on, STEM-based activities with archaeology and artifacts. Space is limited and is reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be a short waitlist available, also first-come, first-serve.
Senior Staff Archaeologist Sean Romo teaches campers how to use the ground-penetrating radar machine.
While there are two sessions available, a child can only be signed up for one session. Any duplicate registrations will be deleted. Only one child may be registered at a time. Children who attended camp the previous year (2023) are NOT eligible for the current year. Children may not attend the camp two years in a row. Special consideration will be given to sibling pairs if one child’s registration is waitlisted. Full refunds can be offered up to four weeks before camp start date. After these dates no refunds are available. All campers will be required to sign a photo and video release form.
Campers need to be prepared to be outside all day. Dress code is T-shirts, shorts/pants, and athletic shoes. Hats and other forms of sun protection are strongly recommended. Lunch is not provided and must be brought each day. Schedule is provided below.
