Camp will overlook the Black Warrior River in a secluded area of the park. The site was both a civic and a ceremonial center where members of the Moundville Chiefdom built more than two dozen earthen mounds, atop which stood temples, council houses, and homes of the nobility. This year's AMNH staff includes Expedition Leader Brian Rushing and Camp Director Rosa Newman. Dr. Vernon James Knight directs the scientific program. Food, shelter, and scientific equipment are provided.
Participants bring bedrolls and personal items.
A detailed list of these items will be included in the full registration packet. High school students can earn elective high school credit. Staff members will provide letters of explanation and certification. Participants must make advance arrangements for credit with school authorities and the Expedition staff. Teachers may earn University of Alabama Continuing Education Units or Professional Development Hours.
