Hell Creek Fossils LLC

"What a great experience! HC Fossils is a thoughtfully planned, educational adventure. The scenery was beautiful and my teenage daughter and I got to get our hands dirty with authentic field experiences under the guidance of real paleontologists. I found the staff to be friendly, motivated and very knowledgeable. It was fun to be with a community of learners/enthusiasts from all over the country too. Though the day treks were arduous, I appreciated the inclusive mindset of the staff; especially regarding campers with disabilities or on the spectrum. The food and tents exceeded my expectations."

"Recommended for any and all who are curious about dinosaur digs. This well-run public dig will house you in a spacious tent, feed you three squares daily, supply simple but modern facilities and then take you safely out to the Badlands to prospect for, excavate and field lab prepare dinosaur fossils! It's an incredible bargain for a trip that is educational, fun and full of adventure. The fossils they collect are often used by students for study and research. Nothing but goodness here. Support HC Fossils!"

"I participated in the field camp offered by Hell Creek Fossil Llc from June 20th-June 27th, 2021. It was an incredible experience. I’m starting graduate school for paleontology next fall, and the time I spent here has really solidified my interest in pursuing a career as a paleontologist. I am very much looking forward to participating again. The guides helping participants are knowledgeable professionals who are passionate about what they do and want others to share in it as well. They do whatever they can to make sure everyone at the camp is happy, and taken care of."

"A dinosaur dig has been on my bucket list for several years. I feel very lucky to have found Hell Creek Fossils. The experience was all that I had hoped for and then some. The leaders were very sensitive to the needs of all the participants. It was an extremely fun learning experience."

"Wow what an experience! It was even better than advertised. I know it sounds crazy to pay to go to work for a week, but the experience is unbelievable. HCF has access to a number of great dig sites. The leadership team is awesome and brings a wealth of technical and field experience. Planning to go back next summer. In addition to daily prospecting, extracting, and jacketing the in-camp lectures and activities were well done. I really enjoyed cleaning up fossils in the lab and the demonstration of how to make molds and castings. We extended our trip and went to Devil's Tower, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, and the Mammoth Site."
