Lots of fun, and equally important, a really nice group of people running this. Had Junior as an instructor, and he was a hoot. My husband had a great time, even though he was a bit skeptical at first. If you are a spectator, you will also have a blast just sitting out on the excavation site. They very hospitably provide waters and a fan, and an orange vest like your digging participant. Their mission statement is one of the best around! To provide confidence, accomplishment, and adventure. Mission accomplished.
