Why Lost Civs Camp?

At Lost Civs Camp, we believe that learning history should be an adventure!  Our hands-on lessons invite students to use their brains in different ways as they absorb informational content and build a deep understanding of Ancient Egypt.  Lessons focus on Egyptian art, history, literature, simulations of cultural practices, STEM activities, and a visit to the Egyptian Collection at the San Antonio Museum of Art..  Watch your child grow to love history and culture as they progress through our unique and thought-provoking lessons.
