We're here today on the first day of 
GEO Explorers Summer Camp.
This is the first time that we're doing summer camp 
activities for children at the fossil park.
I think it's off to a great start and we have 
a great lineup of activities.
This camp is open to children ages 7 to 12.
They will get to work with actual scientists — scientists 
at Rowan University — and dig for fossils in this quarry
which may hold some of the clues to 
solve the mysteries of dinosaur extinction.
I found a dinosaur and it looks like a turtle shell, but 
we don't really know what turtle shell it is yet.
I found two pieces of an isopod — one main part of it and one stem of an isopod.
We've got the students working as scientists keeping 
field notebooks, which I think is awesome and a must
to get them identifying as scientists themselves, 
taking notes on everything they learn.
My name is Andrew. I am a student at 
Rowan University. I study Environmental Studies.
And for the next two weeks I'll be a 
camp counselor here at the fossil park.
Most kids like dinosaurs when they're younger and to 
have the opportunity to actually look for fossils
from the past is pretty unique and exciting.
Fossils!
