The goals and purpose of Field Camp are to give students the opportunity:
- to travel outside of the region
- to see things (rocks, landforms, processes, structure) in situ
- to complete a research project and to visit the location on which the research was completed
- to fulfill a possible field camp requirement for geology students going onto graduate studies
- integrate students and faculty from both geography and geology
