A Letter from Excavating Adventures
Dear Explorer,
Excavating Adventures began with a belief that guides everything we do.
Every child deserves the chance to explore.
Not just science, but history, geography, culture, and the natural world. We believe learning should feel like discovery. Like stepping into a new place and uncovering something real.
When we looked at traditional dig kits, we felt something was missing. They were exciting for a moment, but once the digging ended, so did the experience. We believed exploration could be bigger. Ongoing. Meaningful.
So we reimagined it.
Turning Dig Kits Into Adventures
We transformed dig kits into adventures that feel like small field trips.
Each Excavating Adventure is built as a collectible card experience that guides students through real world locations, fascinating subjects, and story driven missions. Some adventures focus on science. Others explore geography, history, ecosystems, or how the world works.
Students explore online, solve challenges, and complete missions. When they finish an adventure, they earn the reward. A real dig with real specimens to discover, identify, and collect.
Over time, those discoveries connect into a larger journey. A shared mission to discover, identify, and collect all 144 real specimens hidden across the world of Excavating Adventures.
Why Free Matters to Us
This is the heart of our mission.
We believe access should never limit curiosity.
That is why all of our online adventures are free. Every student can explore them. All adventure cards are available as free printables. No purchase required.
And when students complete adventures, they can earn free cards and free kits, shipped directly to their home or classroom.
This is not a promotion.
It is our promise.
Physical kits help support the system, but access always comes first. If a child wants to explore, we believe they should be able to.
Built for Homes, Classrooms, and Communities
Today, Excavating Adventures is used by families, classrooms, clubs, and schools across the country. Teachers trust it because it supports real learning. Parents love it because curiosity leads the way. Students love it because it feels like an adventure made just for them.
We also partner with schools, PTAs, and community groups to help students earn free kits, support fundraising efforts, and bring hands on discovery to more kids.
Why We Keep Going
We do this for the moment when a child opens a pack, starts digging, and realizes the world is full of stories waiting to be uncovered.
We do it because learning should feel exciting, empowering, and possible for everyone.
And we do it because we believe exploration should be a right, not a privilege.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Adventure is out there.
Let’s dig in together.
With curiosity,
The Excavating Adventures Team
