Family Programs
August 17-18, 2013
Is your child fascinated by ancient civilizations, and intent on excavating their way through your back yard in search of buried treasure? Why not give them the opportunity to learn about prehistoric Native Americans and archeology in our region? The CAA’s Family Dig It Weekend is the perfect solution. We combine an introduction to archeological excavation (we work at our 2000 year old village site) with an exploration of stone tool making, games, and much more. Join us for a fun overnight program full of discovery!
The Program: The program runs from 10:00 am Saturday to 10:00 am Sunday. Tuition is $50 per adult and $25 per child, and covers room, supplies, and instruction. You’ll also get a one-year membership in the CAA, which entitles you to a 10% discount on merchandise at the CAA Visitors Center and Museum, and a 5% tuition discount on your next CAA program adventure!
Food is not included in the program, so please bring your own: we have refrigerators, a microwave, and a campfire area perfect for a cookout—or dine at a local restaurant (list will be provided upon arrival). Each family will have their own room in our dormitory facility, or you may choose to park your RV/camper at the Kampsville Village Park. Please call the Kampsville Village Office for more information (618) 653-4421.
Who May Enroll: Children ages 7-13 and their parents/guardians/grandparents etc.
Is This Program Right For Us?: If your children are enthusiastic, can follow directions, like getting dirty, and love being outside, then we think they’ll love this chance to learn about archeology. As much as we enjoy working with children under the age of 7, they are probably not quite ready for this program. Out of courtesy to other participants staying in the dormitory, we ask that very young children who will not be participating in the program, including infants, remain at home with a parent or guardian.
Enrollment Process: Complete the Registration Form and return it to the CAA Office along with your 30% deposit or full payment. Upon receipt of a completed Registration Form, we will send you a confirmation letter and a packet of additional information. Please note that your remaining tuition balance is due one week before the program begins.
What Forms Do I Need to Complete?: Registration Form (one per family), Adult Medical Form(s) as appropriate, Student Medical Form(s) as appropriate, Assumption of Risk/Permission to Photograph Form (one per family). These are available in PDF format through the CAA web page.
NOTE: Registration for the program closes one week prior to the start of each session. Register early to reserve a space for your family—ENROLLMENT IS LIMITED TO 15 INDIVIDUALS per session.
