In-person camp will be held in late May to end of June. Exact dates coming soon. Virtual camp will be run in July.
See links below for more information about our program and application steps. If you
are ready to begin applying to the program, complete online application below. Feel
free to contact Dr. Parcell if you have additional questions.
The ability to infer and to infer correctly is the goal of training in field geology,
for one's proficiency as a geologist is measured by one's skill at drawing safe and
reasonable conclusions from observed phenomena.
Wichita States geology field camp is a foundational capstone experience where students learn practical mapping, data collection, and problem-solving
skills.
Out-of-state tuition rates are very competitive! The camp is also underwritten by
the Woolsey Family Fund for Geology Field Camp, which translates to a camp fee scholarship
(~$2000) for each participating traditional, in-person student.
If you are considering our program, please complete the online application form.
Acceptance is at the discretion of the Field School Director and is based in part
on the anticipated effect of each applicant on the safety, dynamics, and overall functioning
of camp activities. If accepted, you must submit the required forms and payments by
the due dates, so we can make reservations and guarantee numbers to facilities used
by the Field School.
We thank donations from alumni and friends that have helped offset costs associated
with running the program. These savings are directly passed on to our students through
reduction of fees. We would particularly like to thank:
Woolsey Family Fund for Geology Field Camp
Thornton Anderson Field Camp Fund
Richard Stoneburner Field Camp Fund
Our ability to study the varied geology of the Bighorn Basin and greater Yellowstone
area would not be possible without the permission of landowners and federal agencies.
Thanks are extended to:
