CSI:
Fantastic Caverns 2011
CAVE SCIENCE
INVESTIGATORS! An exciting
program awaits visiting
students at Fantastic Caverns in 2011. CSI: Fantastic Caverns
takes full advantage of our
Underground Classroom with a very
special investigation designed to
enhance understanding of man's effect
on the cave world. Visiting student
groups will learn about some very
discreet ways we can harm a cave
system without even knowing it ...
skin oils, lint, hairs and even
pollution making its way into the
groundwater system.
Students will come upon a cave crime
scene. Vandals have struck and
in their wake, left behind evidence
that the kids will process to narrow
down the suspects. For this investigative
process, they will need to rely on
classroom skills (math/language arts)
to analyze and evaluate the evidence,
formulate a theory and draw their conclusions.
The vandalized cave formations,
scattered evidence, evidence markers,
crime-scene tape and investigators
will give this very special program an
authentic feel. Plus, it all
take place in the cave's Underground
Classroom where it's always a warm 60
degrees regardless of the weather
outside. CSI: Fantastic
Caverns includes the all-riding
tour of the caverns.
CSI: Fantastic Caverns is a
special, 90-minute,
"touchable" educational
experience designed for students in
grades 1-8. Students are
encouraged to wear "after school" clothes.
All activities take place inside the
caverns where it's always a Warm 60°.
This 90-minute program is available
at 10:00 am & 12:00 noon DAILY

SUMMER
DISCOVERY 2010
Exciting
Summer Program for 2010....
The 2010
SUMMER DISCOVERY PROGRAM
is designed with children's
groups, scouting groups and
summer school in mind.
Participating students will ply their
skills on a simulated archeology dig, carefully cleaning away debris
and soil in search of historic remains
in a Native American fire-pit,
finding and identifying artifacts from
before and after the introduction of
settlers and explorers. They
will then try their hand at games
played by Native American children for
fun and to learn life-skills needed to
survive in their culture.
Visiting classes will even
have a chance to try some early hunting
methods! This unique,
specialty program takes place at the
Outdoor Classroom located near the
cavern entrance. The 90-minute
program includes the all-riding tour
through the caverns.
SUMMER DISCOVERY is
available from June 1 through November
24, 2010.
