Campers will dig in the dirt using brushes, magnifying glasses, labels, and specimen holders to create their own fossil dig and use the geological time and fossil chart to identify million-year-old shark teeth, mammal bones and more. Then campers will work with the mineral collection to categorize and identify different rocks and minerals, and see a giant pumice stone specimen from Mount St. Helens.
