Four-Day Archaeology Program
For School Groups

Grades 4–12

In this four-day, five-night program, students learn the basics of Pueblo Indian history, excavate at a simulated site representing one of three different time periods, and participate in a variety of "ancient lifestyle" activities at our pithouse and pueblo learning centers. This program also includes two outstanding tours: one to the Anasazi Heritage Center, which includes interactive exhibits just for students, and the other to Mesa Verde National Park, a World Heritage site renowned for its spectacular cliff dwellings.
