The camp students will survey the history and culture of the Ancient Puebloans during their advanced camp, Camp Chaco, from July 25 to August 2, 2009. They will visit the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Chaco Culture National Historical Park and Mesa Verde National Park in the Four Corners region of New Mexico and Colorado.
The students will prepare an on-line report to answer questions about the ancient people of the region as they visit the historic sites and museums, and talk with local people and park rangers. The report will be compiled below and will serve as a study guide for middle school and high school students.
