Archaeology 101 and 201 – UTSA Summer Camp

During these week-long summer camps, children ages 9 to 13 will participate in outdoor and indoor activities while exploring archaeological discoveries, methods, ethics, and more. There are two different themes for the summer camps. 

Archaeology 101 (sessions 1 & 3) will introduce campers to archaeology and build on learned skills through experimental activities (like cave painting, weaving, and garbology). Archaeology 201 (sessions 2 & 4) will briefly go over the foundations of archaeology and related skills, followed by a different topic over the course of this week (like skeletal analysis, global cultures, and more). 

The camp will be held at the Center for Archaeological Research located on UTSA’s 1604 Campus and the camp is staffed by the Center’s archaeologists, interns, and volunteers.
