The Fairfield Foundation is offering week-long summer camps for children beginning Monday through July 25 at the Fairfield Archaeology Park on Fairfield Lane in Hayes.
The camps are divided into three age groups, with camps for ages 6 to 8 during the weeks of June 9 and July 7, with hours from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday. The cost is $150 per camper.
The camps for ages 9 to 12 will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. the weeks of June 16, July 14, and July 21, at a cost of $175 per camper.
Ages 13 to 15 will have one camp the week of June 21, with hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a more advanced archaeological curriculum at a cost of $200 per camper.
Campers will learn digging techniques and how to wash artifacts, have scavenger hunts, plant seeds, make pottery and a dugout canoe, and other activities. Break times will include snacks and games.
Volunteers are needed to assist with camp activities. To volunteer, email Rachel Alwine at outreach@fairfieldfoundation.org.
