About the activity:

Step back in time and explore ancient Oregon, a land of jungles, volcanoes, and giant beasts! If you love uncovering prehistoric mysteries, this camp is for you. Get hands-on with real fossils, polish a thunderegg to reveal its hidden treasures, and dive into the traditions of Camp Hancock—cool off by the river, sing campfire songs, and enjoy delicious meals, including the famous Chuckwagon breakfast. Perfect for aspiring paleontologists, this camp offers new adventures for both beginners and those continuing from Junior Paleontology. Ready for even more discovery? This is the perfect stepping stone to Paleontology Field Study camp! With moderate physical activity, the camp takes place at Hancock Field Station in Fossil, Oregon, with transportation to and from OMSI. Check-in is at 7 a.m. on the first day, and pick-up is at 5 p.m. on the last day.
