May 12 - Jun 20, 2025 Western offers a four-week (4 cr) Field Geology course, followed by a two-week (2 cr) Advanced Field Geology course. Located in the south-central Colorado Rockies, Gunnison is the ideal location for students to study a variety of geological terranes.

Clemson Hydrogeology Field Camp
May 13 - Jun 19, 2025 The Clemson Hydrogeology Field Camp is a capstone experience for undergraduate degrees in Geology and graduate students in Hydrogeology or Engineering. The camp is designed to give the student a working knowledge of the methods and concepts of field hydrogeology and to provide the opportunity to use those methods in several hydrogeologic settings. Topics include spatial mapping, well drilling, water quality and sampling, well testing, soil properties, airflow through the vadose zone, hydraulic fracturing, and near-surface geophysical methods. There are field trips that visit different hydrogeologic settings including the Mammoth Cave area in Kentucky, the Smoky Mountains, and the Blue Ridge and Piedmont regions near Clemson.

Northern Illinois University: Field Methods in Environmental Geosciences
May 19 - Jun 18, 2025 Our environmental field camp is designed to train you in field methods and integrative problem-solving related to environmental geosciences. The course covers topics such as field methods in hydrogeology, surface water and vadose-zone hydrology, water quality analysis, environmental surface geophysics, and site evaluation and techniques. All students must have taken a hydrogeology course. Graduate students may enroll in EAE 577.

Geology Field Camps worldwide
May 19 - Aug 10, 2025 From Traditional six credits capstone field camp to specialized 3 to 4 credits field camps on 14 locations worldwide. Short mapping camps to specialized volcanology, sequence stratigraphy, depositional systems, paleontology, engineering geology, environmental, hydrology and petroleum field camps.

East Carolina University Summer Geology Field Course
May 19 - Jun 24, 2025 The Summer Geology Field Course (GEOL-4000) is a 6-semester hour, capstone Geology Field experience administered by the Department of Geological Sciences at East Carolina University. The Course is conducted in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado within a geologic and tectonic setting that includes the Southern Rocky Mountains, the Colorado Plateau, the Rio Grande Rift, the Jemez Caldera, and the San Juan Mountains. The course emphasizes project-based learning including: field mapping, stratigraphy and geophysics, and is designed to train students in field oriented problem solving and critical thinking that will prepare them for a professional career in the Geological Sciences. This includes introducing students to complete project life cycles from data collection in the field, to analysis in a digital and GIS based environment and final production of scientific reports.

Salem State University Field Geology II
May 21 - Jun 9, 2025 Students will concentrate on mapping and cross-section construction of well-exposed structures in southwest Montana, where thrust structures involve foreland basin strata. Students will develop skills for making geologic field observations and constructing geologic maps in the field. Students will learn techniques for measuring stratigraphic sections, collecting structural data in the field, describing and recognizing rock units, constructing geologic cross sections, conducting simple structural analyses from the field data, and interpreting geologic history from both stratigraphic and structural relations examined in the field.Applications are now open: https://forms.gle/jTEYgmURSVbmmYwu8Early applications are encouraged and receive preferred admission.

University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Field Camp
May 24 - Jul 5, 2025 Our summer geology field camp is designed to expose students to a wide variety of rock types and geologic settings. We spend the first week on the road in the Black Hills/Badlands, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Tetons National Park, and the Uinta Mountains. We then base ourselves in Park City, Utah, from which we travel to other areas of Utah (Capitol Reef National Park), Nevada (Great Basin National Park), and Wyoming. Field areas include intrusive rocks, deformed sedimentary rocks, contact and regionally metamorphosed rocks (greenschist to amphibolite grade), and Quaternary landscapes and deposits.

Oklahoma State University Field Camp
May 26 - Jun 27, 2025 There are two options for our camp. One is a "traditional" geology field camp with both traditional and modern mapping methods, geophysics, and stratigraphy. The other is an Environmental Geoscience option, which runs concurrently and focuses more on applied environmental methods such as water and soil sampling, contaminant tracing, and environmental hazard identification.

Idaho State University Geology Field Camp
May 26 - Jun 30, 2025 The ISU Field Camp is hosted at the Lost River Field Station in central Idaho. Each year six or more of our field-oriented faculty participate as instructors to expose students to a broad array of geologic disciplines and geologic diversity. Emphasis is placed on developing an individual's ability to observe, record, and interpret field relationships, utilize GIS, create hand drawn and digital geologic maps, and complete reports. Our students become confident, broadly-trained field geologists prepared either to pursue careers in the Earth Sciences or dive into research projects in graduate school. We accept students from universities outside of ISU that are looking to complete the field camp requirement for and undergraduate B.S. in geology.

Iowa State Geology Field Camp
May 27 - Jul 2, 2025 The Iowa State University Geology Field Camp provides students with experience in performing field analyses related to structure, stratigraphy, sedimentology, metamorphic processes, energy resources, and environmental science. Our initial exercises hone students' basic field skills, helping them prepare for the more career-relevant projects near the end of the course. Study areas include the Bighorn Basin, Wind River Range, and excursions to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.During this course, students will gain experience in:- Geologic mapping of strata and structure using topographic, orthoimage, and/or 3D printed base maps;- Detailed logging and interpretation of sedimentary strata exposed in outcrop;- Designing and implementing drone mapping missions;- Fundamentals of environmental site assessments;- Interpretation and correlation of wireline logs to outcrop data;- Risk assessment of energy resources and underground carbon storage;- Identification and interpretation of igneous/metamorphic rocks in outcrop;- Critical observations and evaluation of geologic data;- Managing of uncertainty/error in field settings; and- Project management and time management skills.
