Saturday January 30, 2010: Mummy Matters *** Space Available***
Glaciers, Ice Patches, and Permafrost have been the guardians of prehistoric secrets for millions of years. But some secrets are not meant to be kept forever.
Every year mummies emerge from their icy tombs, giving us a snap shot of a prehistoric time. But every fossil tells a story, and not all stories are what you expect them to be…
Join us at Camp Beringia to help unravel these icy mummy mysteries, and bring the past to life!
Saturday February 20, 2010: Prowling with Prehistoric Predators
*** Space Available***
We invite you on a prehistoric adventure, where we will prowl with the ferocious scimitar cat one moment, and dine with the mighty Mammoth the next. Predators and their prey will forever be locked together, tangled in the web of life.
But ultimately who will outsmart who, in the ancient battle of survival? There will always be a winner, but things are not always what they seem...
