What it actually looks like
Our note
Making a stone tool is the draw here, and it needs enough adults to supervise properly. Their own pages disagree on whether grade 6 can come, so settle that first.
What the children do
A two hour program on the earliest history of the Pacific Northwest Coast and the methods archaeologists use, with hands on work using locally found artifacts. Thirty minutes is outdoors.
Handle artifacts found locally, then make their own stone tools using the same techniques First Peoples used on this coast.
Good to know
Washrooms and a picnic area on site, and the building itself is wheelchair accessible. Part of this one is outside and there is nothing published about a wet weather plan, so ask when you book.
