 Lehigh Field Camp is a selective program that offers motivated Earth Scientists an
 opportunity at intensive field training in the incredible natural laboratory of the
 Northern Rocky Mountains. Students enroll in one course (EES 341), but must choose one
 of the following two curricula:

 Lehigh Field Camp traditional Geoscience curriculum featuring:

• Sedimentology, stratigraphy, and section measuring

• Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology

• Structural geology and use of field structural data

• Metamorphic and igneous petrology

• Geology of North America and Tectonics of the Rocky Mountains

• Basic and advanced mapping skills

 Lehigh Field Camp innovative Environmental Science curriculum featuring:

• Basic geology

• Soils and ecosystem services of the critical zone

• Wetlands ecology and paleoecology

• Hydrology/Hydrogeology

• Fluvial and hillslope geomorphology

• Environmental impact assessments

 These two curricula interact solving real problems and take advantage of the
 latest field technologies including:

• Hand held GPS units

• Axim hand held computers running ArcPad GIS linked to a real-time GPS receiver

• Hydrological instrumentation

 We are a traveling and camping field camp.  The round trip from Pennsylvania to
 Wyoming-Idaho includes visits to several National Parks and is a unique part of our learning
 experience.  The student discovers their country, matures into a Geologist / Environmental
 Scientist, lays the foundation for professional employment or graduate school, and makes
 lasting friendships.
