What is a field camp?

Field camps bring geoscience learning outdoors. Depending on the program, you might practice geological mapping, observe rocks and landscapes, collect environmental data, or use geophysical methods. Some camps travel between locations; others are based at a fixed site.

Find a program that fits

Start with Field camps to search by subject, location, year, length, credits, and reported costs. Choose Universities to explore camps offered by a particular institution.

Use Save on a listing to build a shortlist of up to five camps, then compare them side by side. You can share a comparison using its page link. No account is needed to browse.

Before you apply

• Check the program website for session dates, availability, application deadlines, and prerequisites.
• Confirm whether the camp accepts students from other institutions and whether its credits will count toward your degree.
• Ask what the reported cost covers, including housing, meals, equipment, and travel.
• Talk with the program about accessibility, physical activities, accommodation, and support you may need.

Keep the details in perspective

Listings may be incomplete or change between sessions. “Not reported” means the information is unavailable here; a missing cost does not mean the camp is free. A program year alone does not confirm that a session is scheduled or accepting applications.

Always confirm details with the camp provider, and check with your academic adviser before choosing a program.
