Education Programs

Archaeology has a unique capacity for capturing the imagination of students and their teachers.

At the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, we offer experiential learning programs for school groups in grades 4 through 12 and summer camps for children in middle and high school.

All our programs are developed in consultation with American Indians.

School Group Opportunities

Bring your students to Crow Canyon, where they will learn firsthand about archaeology and the history, culture, and lifeways of the ancestral Pueblo Indians (the Anasazi). We offer a variety of one-day field trips and multiday group programs, March through November.

Teen Summer Camps

Crow Canyon's summer camps allow middle and high school students to experience for themselves the excitement of real archaeological excavation and lab work. These one- to three-week programs also feature field trips, hiking, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends!
