School Weeks at Chimney Rock
CRIA is dedicated to providing tours of Chimney Rock at no cost for school groups (usually in the spring and sometimes in the fall). These educational events involve guided tours and hands-on activitiee. In preparation for the field trip, an education video can be sent to teachers upon request. Also availalbe is the Junior Archaeologist Booklet which can be downloaded and printed for study prior to the field trip. If a field trip is not possible, CRIA volunteers can provide live presentations in the classroom. We offer these multiple opportunities to provide an enhanced experience for your people in the hope they will value sites such as Chimney Rock and continue our effots to educate the public and preserve the cultural heritage.
School Group Tour dates, the video, and live classroom presentations are available upon request. Please contact the CRIA office at (970) 731-7133 or officemgr@chimneyrockco.org.
Junior Archaeologist Program
The Junior Archaeologist Booklet was developed by a committee of experienced educators and allows children to complete activities according to their age. The booklet includes various engaging activities to enhance a child’s understanding of Chimney Rock as they embark upon their tour of the site. Once the booklet is complete, the child will become an ‘official’ Archaeologist and say the pledge and be presented with a Junior Archaeologist badge.
CRIA realizes the importance of inspiring our younger generation to become involved in our past. We hope having an interactive experience and a fun piece to take home will pique their interest in preserving sites such as Chimney Rock National Monument.
