Hickory Hill's Camp involves two sessions that occur in June and July each year. They are Eco-Adventures and Dig-History.
Eco-Adventures June 2014
Eco-Adventures campers explore how Americans have cared for and lived on the land for centuries. They’ll learn how Native Americans lived off the land, how early Georgia settlers farmed, and how we can help sustain our environment for the future. This experiential camp allows kids to plant a medicinal and culinary herb garden, harvest fruit, vegetables, and eggs, and make snacks and crafts from the fruits of their labors. ($60 per Week)
Camp activities take place on an historic WORKING farm.
Dig History July 2014
In DIG History! kids experience how archaeologists investigate the past. They explore ancient hunting methods, learn what our garbage says about us, and work alongside professional archaeologists to learn about forensic methods to solve crimes.
Excavation takes place at the Jeffersonian Publishing Plant site (9MF914). The site is where Thomas E. Watson built a publishing plant back in 1910. Nothing remains of the plant on the surface, so it is the job of our Junior Archaeologists to find what remains below the surface. ($60 per Week)
