Overview Studies will cover the fascinating history of the ancient Pueblo Indians (the Anasazi) who lived in the Mesa Verde region. You will help our team of professional archaeologists at a working excavation site, and learn to sort and identify artifacts in the Crow Canyon research laboratory.

Supervision/Activities High School Music teacher Ms. Roz Torto and Middle School Music teacher Mr. Ryan teacher Ryan Hudec are excited to join the trip. In addition to their duties as chaperones, Roz and Ryan will participate in the programs led by Crow Canyon instructors. At Crow Canyon’s pithouse and pueblo learning centers, students can try their hand at spear-throwing with an atlatl, making a fire without matches, and playing traditional Native American games. The amazing skills and lifeways of the people who inhabited the Mesa Verde region 700 to 2,500 years ago will amuse and amaze. The week is traditionally topped off with a special all-day tour of nearby Mesa Verde National Park, a World Heritage site.
