As part of the RPA Certified Field School Showcase, the University of Akron and Summit Metro Parks are offering the Community Archaeology Summer Program (CASP), running May 19–July 11, 2025. This six‑week program provides students with hands‑on training in fundamental archaeological field methods and cultural resource management.

CASP takes place on active sites within Summit Metro Parks, giving participants direct experience working on real archaeological projects in a public‑lands setting. Students gain practical skills while contributing to ongoing research and stewardship efforts across the park system.
A strong opportunity for emerging archaeologists to develop field techniques, understand CRM practices, and engage in community‑focused archaeology.
