Prehistory to Ancient Times: Surviving the Ages || Historical Adventure Camp

Is getting your learner into history harder than taming a woolly mammoth? In this adventure-packed camp, they’ll lead a prehistoric tribe from Paleolithic survival to the rise of Mesopotamian civilizations!

In this camp, they’re not just learners—they’re adventurers! They’ll step into the role of a prehistoric leader, guiding their tribe through the challenges of early human life. From survival to thriving as a village, city-state, and eventually a civilization, they’ll uncover the history of the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras and explore the great civilizations of Mesopotamia along the way.

Let’s face it: history can sometimes feel like a list of dates to memorize. That’s where this class flips the script. Surviving the Ages isn’t about reading—it’s about doing. Through a dynamic survival simulation, your learner will make critical decisions about food, shelter, and alliances, navigating the trials faced by early humans.

By the end of the journey, they’ll transform from a budding historian into a problem-solver who can connect patterns of the past to today’s world. Each day wraps up with a reflection session to discuss strategies and insights. And for a fun finale, time permitting, we’ll dive into an exciting Kahoot quiz to reinforce key concepts and test their survival savvy!

*Heads-Up: This Class is NOT a Spectator Sport!
This isn’t your typical sit-back-and-zone-out history class—your learner is part of the action! Whether we’re diving into simulations, debates, or critical-thinking challenges, their participation is what makes this class engaging, exciting, and, well… not just another lecture!

That said, if participation turns into radio silence, we’ll have to shift into a lecture-style format to ensure all key material is covered. But let’s be real—that’s way less fun.

So, encourage your learner to jump in, share their thoughts, make decisions, and engage! The more they put into this experience, the more they'll get out of it (and the less likely we are to drift into Lecture Land).

**Another Heads-Up: Punctuality Matters! 
This class runs on engagement and interaction, so arriving on time is key! While late arrivals are always welcome to jump in, we won’t be able to restart simulations or backtrack on missed activities—there’s just too much to cover.

To get the most out of the experience (and avoid feeling lost mid-simulation), being on time is strongly encouraged. Help your learner hit the ground running from the start—it makes for a smoother, more immersive class for everyone!
