Greg,

The Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University offers one week
classes at the original Egg Mountain site, near Choteau, MT during the
summer.  Cost is $990 a week (phone 406-994-6618), you camp in teepees,
and as of last summer, they were still digging up nest sites.  They also
offer a free daily tour of the site in the summer (inquire at the dinosaur
museum in Choteau). The museum in Choteau also offers two-day classes
($125) at various sites (phone 1-800-ADVNTRE).
