DigCamp Gift Certificate (Ages 6-11)

This year, DigVentures is running excavations at some very special sites across the UK – just have a look at our Dig Calendar to find out where and when they’re happening, and which dates are still available.

When the lucky recipient is ready to choose their dig experience, head over to our Dig Calendar to see what DigCamps are available. Then, send an email to bookings@digventures.com with the following details:

• Which DigCamp location and date they wish to attend
• Name of the person who bought the Gift Certificate

We’ll email you a Gift Voucher code that you can use to register for your chosen DigCamp!

You really do get to be an archaeologist for the morning or afternoon! There are no sand pits or simulations at DigCamp – it’s all real archaeology.

We start every DigCamp with Trowelling 101… and then the real fun begins – we show you how to dig!

Once you’re all trained up on how to use a trowel, and what to look for, you’ll jump into the trenches alongside our professional archaeologists. Will you discover an ancient hunting tool? The remains of a fire? Or the final clue that helps us unlock a mystery? Whatever you find, our archaeologists will help you work out what it was used for and how old it is.

Is your child fascinated by archaeology? Have you always wanted to try it? Or do you just want to get out and about and spend a day doing something new and active with your family? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then DigCamp is for you!

DigCamp is suitable for children ages 6 – 11, and adults of any age (as long as they can get in the trench with their child).

Older children (ages 12 – 16) are welcome to join our DigClubs, which are specially designed for teens who dig archaeology!

As well as other DigCampers, you will be digging alongside DigVentures’ professional archaeologists, plus our very qualified Site Dogs Monty and Ernie! Our groups are small and friendly, and places are limited to make sure that each DigCamp is a unique experience and that you get the full attention of our team. It’s best to book early to avoid disappointment.

Each DigCamp usually runs from 10:00am – 12:00pm or 2:00pm to 4:00pm, but please check the individual DigCamp page for specific details.

The costs cover all tuition and archaeology sessions. Please note that the costs do not include lunch. As we are often a fair way from the nearest village, please make sure you come prepared and bring a packed lunch with you.

Please check the individual DigCamp pages for full details, but generally speaking you will need to bring a packed lunch and appropriate clothing… oh, and bags of enthusiasm!

Gift Certificates are non-refundable and are valid for one year from purchase.

If you are unable to use your Gift Certificate within that time, we are happy to consider an extension if you contact us before it expires.
