In the field, the students map in groups of three. We generally have 15-25 students in the camp with two faculty and two graduate teaching assistants experienced in geologic mapping. We emphasize independent work on the part of the student and the 3-4 instructors spend each day in the field rotating among the field parties. Pre-requisites are mineralogy, stratigraphy, petrology, and structure. This class is commonly taken toward the end of a student's undergraduate career.
Food is extra and is prepared by the individual or in small groups.
