The station has been actively hosting field camps since 1930, and provides cabins, bathrooms, classrooms, and three meals a day for the full stay. The trip will consist of daily excursions to different habitats within the ecosystem, where you will hike, explore, identify and study the wildlife and geologic features that you learned about in the classroom.\u00a0 Interested students (anyone with an interest in biology or earth science) should enroll in BIO 220.
