Even though the distance between dinosaurs and modern man continues to increase, our fascination with the mesozoic era seems to withstand the test of time. Prehistoric study is undoubtedly fascinating for all ages, but every year we find our preschoolers have a particular affinity for all things triassic, jurassic, and cretaceous. We’ll raise the excitement level even more by taking your palaeontologists-in-training on their very first dig. Armed with spade, brush, and bucket, campers will delve deep into Jericho sands to see what treasure they can uncover.
Christianne will draw from her extensive collection of dinosaur literature to see how different authors have created captivating stories and mesmerizing illustrations about these Triassic dwellers.
Instead of treating our finds as purely ornamental, we’ll help campers to turn their bones into something spectacular, a fossilised bone sculpture, complete with natural material adornments. Perhaps we’ll see incredible replicas, or maybe a new breed of dinosaur will be born; either way, we know your preschooler won’t want to miss out!
Every year, we source bones from Saturna Island, ensuring children have sustainable materials to reuse in their activities. This year, our incredible bones have been thoroughly sanitized and cleaned, ready for eager campers to find.
