Each year, our members volunteer their time to help with the summer archaeology camps at Fort Frederica National Monument on St. Simons Island.

Elementary- and middle school-aged children get the opportunity to participate in a real excavation at a colonial site, by learning the archaeological process and digging, sifting and classifying artifacts.

GIAS members assist with all parts of the process, sharing their knowledge with the students and often learning a few things themselves. It’s also a great opportunity for amateur archaeologists to gain experience at a low-stress dig site.
