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 teens in middle and high school.

Also offered in 2010 are special summer courses designed to challenge, inspire, and provide essential professional development for teachers.

All our programs are developed in consultation with American Indians.

School Group Programs

Bring your class on an educational field trip to Crow Canyon, where students will learn firsthand about archaeology and the history, culture, and lifeways of the ancestral Pueblo Indians (the Anasazi). We offer programs ranging from one to five days in length. The program season runs from March through November.

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!
