About Course

Campers will be traveling millions of years back in time to the prehistoric age of the dinosaurs! These magnificent and mysterious creatures never fail to engage students, as we dive into learning about dinosaurs like triceratops, pterodactyls, and of course the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex! Campers will learn about dinosaurs through unique hands on activities, like block builds, science experiments, crafts, and STEM activities. They will have opportunities to learn not only about different dinosaurs found and studied over the years, but also about evidence – fossils left behind and theories as to why dinosaurs went extinct. It’s still a mystery to many, but maybe we have some paleontologists in the making to find more evidence one day!

What Will You Learn?

  • Students will learn what paleontologists are and what they do.
  • Students will learn about fossils and will learn how scientists use fossils to figure out what dinosaurs looked like .
  • Students will learn about plant-eating dinosaurs (herbivores) and meat-eating dinosaurs (carnivores).
  • Students will learn different theories of what happened to the dinosaurs.
  • Students will engage in numerous hands-on activities to reinforce the lesson material.
