ARCHAEO-DIGS
Delving into the past!

How many of us have dreamed of being an archaeologist and perhaps discovering an exciting clue left by the occupants of an ancient site! ARCHAEO-DIGS gives participants a chance to get their hands in the dirt. For a few hours or several days, they’ll work on an archaeological site in small groups under the supervision of an archaeologist. This is a unique adventure for archaeology enthusiasts, families and specialized tour clienteles.

Archéo-Ados, a camp for the 12 to 15-year-olds, offers archaeological and outdoor recreational activities in an exceptional environment on one of the most important prehistoric archaeological sites in the north-east of our continent. During their stay, campers will have the opportunity to find out about several facets of archaeology. Teens will experience a world of fun, challenge and discovery while they learn about archaeology, the world of the Amerindians and ecology.

Pointe-du-Buisson Archaeological Park is proud to announce that the archaeology camp Archéo-Ados is now certified by the Association des camps du Québec and by Archéo-Québec!
