Four Reasons To Choose Geology Field Camp
It's relatively inexpensive when compared to most other field camps.
It's four weeks long, in the beginning of the summerbreak (you’ll be finished on June 20). You'll have plenty of time to work (or play) for the rest of the summer!
You will be taught by four different instructors, with decades of experience in field work and practicing geology. More instructors means more geological expertise, and a wider exposure to the variety of skills and tools you can expect to find on the job in a modern world.
It includes a BRUNTON sponsorship! Any student that has taken our field camp can purchase a Brunton Compass (Conventional Pocket Transit) for a nice discount. This offer extends to all of our UB geology students, faculty, and alumni.
