Robert, Cincinnati Museum Center works in a couple of dinosaur bone beds every summer out in southern Montana. For 2-3 weeks of this time, we host a "Dinosaur Field School" where members of the public are right in the trenches with our curatorial staff and paleontological researchers. It's hot but extremely rewarding work. We have a large number of teachers who come out every year, as well as 10 or so members of our Youth Program volunteers (high school juniors and seniors). For information, you can visit http://www.cincymuseum.org/dino_dig or see our blog from this summer at http://cincymuseum.blogspot.com. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
