Camp Description
Students wash, identify, and catalog real artifacts, including pottery, stone, and animal bone.  Archaeological excavation in the field at our current research site is a highlight of the program, as is a guided tour of nearby Mesa Verde National Park, a World Heritage site. Crow Canyon’s Pithouse and Pueblo Learning Centers, replicas of early Pueblo Indian dwellings, serve as unique and inspiring classrooms.  Students learn about Indian lifestyles: throwing a spear with an atlatl, weaving on a loom, making fire with a bow and spindle stick, and playing traditional Indian games in Crow Canyon’s beautiful meadow in the mountains. Program activities vary depending on age of student and program selected.
