Hartgen offers archeological summer camps targeted at children between the ages of 8 and 12. This unique service is available to organizations with missions that combine history and education. Past camps have been conducted at historic sites such as the Ten Broeck Mansion in Albany, New York.

Following a tried and true curriculum, our summer camps provide attendees with hands-on archeological experience that is both educational and fun. Following an orientation which introduces attendees to the history of the site and the tools of the archeological trade, the camp covers everything from excavation to artifact identification. The camp concludes with the creation of an exhibit presenting what the students have learned about the site. Camps are typically one or two weeks long.
