Grab your explorer’s hat and get ready to journey across the globe at The Great Civilization Excavation! This high-energy program invites rising 1st–5th graders to unearth the secrets of the world’s most legendary cultures—from the soaring pyramids of Egypt and the majestic temples of the Maya to the bustling forums of Ancient Rome.

Through an interactive visual presentation and "archaeologist-approved" hands-on activities, we’ll dive deep into the daily lives, inventions, and mysteries of Mesopotamia, China, Greece, and the Inca. Whether you’re decoding hieroglyphics or marveling at ancient engineering, you'll discover how these incredible societies shaped the world we live in today.

This program is for rising grades 1–5 only. No registration is required, but space may be limited.
