Finally, summer camps for children that don't involve dualistic, us-versus-them sports. Irish Archaeology Camps are for seven- to 12-year-olds with a craving to learn about the past through a mix of Indiana Jones-ish archaeological games and serious hands-on activities such as pot making, post-and-wattle fencing, medieval cobbling and excursions to castles and archaeology digs. The organisers guarantee all courses will be participatory and the last child picked on the football team will be the first rushing to build a Viking house. sia.ie
