Join us as we head into the field for extended research trips. We will spend time observing natural features and applying what we learn to our research projects. Learn to use scientific tools in the field to gather data for a more meaningful understanding of how living organisms relate to their physical surroundings.
We offer several research projects to meet your interest, some options include: bird observation, insect collections, botanical survey, water quality, and geological specimen identification.
We provide for a fully equipped camping experience. All you need to bring are your personal items and a sleeping bag!
