PREHISTORIC DIG activity is a unique fun/learning area that is one of a kind in the nation. It was set up by professional archaeologists to simulate a multi-component dig where the upper level is ancient America, while the lower levels are dinosaurs and related life forms. 

All the fossils are true to this area. Campers get to keep a real fossil and a dinosaur collector card. As with many activities at camp, this is an all-weather program.
