We turn your gym into a dig site for a day.
Inflatable excavation structures, six themed stations, projection running the whole room, and Ari Raider setting the challenge before anyone picks up a tool.
Every child leaves with the complete Adventure Kit — six Digs, six real specimens, six Gemlings in a blind bag, six matching trading cards and the Realm map. Not a goody bag. The whole thing.
What it costs
$795 booking/setup fee + $15 per participating student. 60-student minimum — minimum booking $1,695.
The booking fee covers the day, not the session — so the more of the day you fill, the less each child costs:
| Students | Sessions | Total | Per student |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 (minimum) | 2 | $1,695 | $28.25 |
| 108 | 3 | $2,415 | $22.36 |
| 144 | 4 | $2,955 | $20.52 |
| 216 (full day) | 6 | $4,035 | $18.68 |
A full day works out at less than nineteen dollars a child, and every one of them takes a kit home.
Capacity: up to six sessions per day, 36 students per session.
How the day runs
- Learn and Prove — in class, a short lesson and Ari Raider's challenge. Students know what they're walking into.
- The Gym Dig — six themed stations, inflatable structures, ambient projection. This is the part they'll describe at dinner.
- Identify and Collect — back at the tables, students work out what they excavated, match each specimen to its card, and keep both.
What we need from you

We bring everything else.
Who usually pays
Most days are funded by the PTA or PTO directly, out of the budget they already hold. Some schools use activity or enrichment funds, and some split it across grade levels. We take purchase orders — email info@excavatingadventures.com with your headcount and billing contact.
Separately, our PTA programme stocks your school with kits for free: for every kit a family buys through your school's link, we donate an identical one to the school. One for one, no selling and nothing to collect. It runs whether or not you book a day. See how the PTA programme works.
