*NEW: 2012 Season Updates*

Curriculum Based School Tours 

Tours provide educational curriculum opportunities for Grades 1 to 12 in both science and social studies.  Students will discover archaeology and learn more about Alberta’s history, while having fun and undertaking many interactive activities.  Activities can include a visit to an archaeology laboratory, participation in mock dig, participation in mock ceremonies, and a variety of curriculum based activates.  Students will see firsthand what happens at a real archaeological site during a visit to the Bodo Archaeological Site.  Students will also receive hands-on instruction from an archaeologist on how real archaeology is conducted in the field, while working on a mock sandbox dig.

The overnight school tour includes two meals (dinner and breakfast the next day), an after dinner outdoor evening hike to learn about the unique flora and faunal of the Bodo Sand Hills area, a traditional First Nations snack before bed, the unique experience of spending the night in a authentic tipi, and a field trip to a bison rubbing stone in the morning.   Only two tipis are available and each tipi sleeps 6-8 people.
