Our own students at the University of Minnesota (UMN) also need 6 weeks of field camp to receive their Bachelor of Science degrees. We offer 2 to 3 field camps each year in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at UMN. Thus, our students take at least two of our three 3-week field camps before they graduate.

Yes in most cases unless you have a very good reason why you have to skip a day or arrive a day later or leave a day earlier (leaving earlier is particularly difficult as we are coming back from north-central Minnesota on the last day of the field camp).

B2Osh was organized to enable friends camping together. The formation was the means of arriving together to accomplish this. If health or other reasons require a stay in a room, we will still welcome your participation, but we discourage people joining us for the formation flight and not camping with us. If partying with us is your prime motivation, we would prefer you consider "I don't want to fly the formation. Can I still join you?" above.

No, we are providing ample time to finish the assignments on time including whole write-up days in between field and lab days. There is also time during most evenings and sometimes even in the field (e.g., while you are waiting for some measurement). So there is no excuse for handing in material late.

Field training is a common component of most geology programs. This course provides the concentrated training in field techniques required to work in the geosciences. Classroom training comes alive in the field, providing the sense of scale, spatial relationships, and heterogeneity difficult to appreciate in the classroom or laboratory.

Yes. You will need a water bottle, exercise mat and two sets of hand weights. We will recommend the appropriate amount of weight for you once we see your performance at the health screening. You may purchase these items at a discount through us or get them on your own.

You should wear layers of comfortable, athletic clothing appropriate for the time of the year. You should also invest in a good pair of running shoes. All Fitness Edge Troopers get a discount at Runners Lane in Santa Clarita - ask us for details. The right shoe will make the difference in loving or hating the running experience. Please leave all jewelry and other valuables at home.

Because the Earth's magnetic field is constantly changing, it is impossible to accurately predict what the field will be at any point in the very distant future. By constantly measuring the magnetic field, we can observe how the field is changing over a period of years. Using this information, it is possible to create a mathematical representation of the Earth's main magnetic field and how it is changing.

You will need to bring one set of 5 - 8 lb. hand weights and any type of exercise mat. You will also want to bring water to keep yourself hydrated during camp. Optional items are a towel to dry off with and gloves or mittens in the winter. Dress in a layered fashion...even if it is chilly, you will get warm very fast! Make sure you have a good pair of RUNNING sneakers.

Camp is located in Western New York near the Pennsylvania border and the Allegany State Park. Traveling on Interstate 86 (Route 17), get off at exit 17. Head north off the exit and proceed to the stop sign at Steamburg and turn right. Turn onto Sunfish Run Road just past the underpass. Follow this road 6 miles into Camp Li-Lo-Li.

Yes. We often encourage children to experience as much of the game as possible and this includes playing a variety of positions.

Admission to training camp is free and you do not need tickets to attend. Make sure to check back at www.newyorkjets.com for the latest information about 2008 Training Camp or call the Jets Fan Line at 516-560-8288.

Yes, a medical examination form must be signed by a physician. A school physical done within 12 months of camp is acceptable, just attach it to our form and fill in the additional information needed in relation to your child's health history, immunizations, etc.

Yes. All planes parked in the camping area must pay the camping fee regardless of the presence of a tent. There is a separate parking area for planes not wishing to pay a camping fee. It is located on the opposite side of the airfield, far from all B2Osh activities. Pay the camping fee and stay with the group. Do not argue with EAA volunteers posting a notice on your plane to pay the fee. It reflects poorly on all of us.

Packers Training Camp has become much more than only watching the team practice. With the addition of the Lambeau Field Atrium in 2003, as well as the inclusion of the Packers Experience in the Lambeau Field concourse, the Lambeau Field complex provides a wealth of activities for all ages. Find out more.

In the Rocky Mt. Region, you need a back country permit in the Indian Peaks Wilderness (near Rocky Mt. National Park and Boulder, CO). Also, the White River National Forest now requires a Wilderness Pass to use the Holy Cross and Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness Areas. They are FREE and can be self-issued at wilderness trailheads. Monthly passes are available at the District offices. Entrance Fees and Use Fees are required in some areas but are separate from a back country permit.

Although laundry is washed weekly, it is important that campers bring at least a weeks supply of clothes. Families from overseas can rent bedding and linen for the summer. All campers should also bring a tennis racquet and a baseball/softball mitt (a mask and snorkel and a model rocket are optional). All our families receive a full clothing and equipment list in late spring, including those items required with Cody's name or emblem.

No. Hector Rios has a wealth of knowledge and experience on this topic - he will teach you how. Although adventures are for everyone, and designed to accommodate all levels of experience and abilities, there may be physical impairments that require special services. Please let Hector know about any special needs you or your group may have. The majority of people who join our tours are first time kayakers, or have limited experience.

State Law mandates that children's camp must have a RN, MD or EMT on premises. The nurse collects medications at registration. Medications must be in their original containers with the dispensing information or the medication will not be given at camp. Please do not send pill organizers. Usually medications are given at Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and right after the evening activity.

Campers do not HAVE to bring any money to IMC. All meals, concerts, recreational activities (water-skiing, windsurfing, tennis, etc.) and social events are included in the camp fee. Campers may CHOOSE to bring some money to purchase snacks (soft drinks, ice cream, chips, etc.) from the tuck shop.

Campers need to bring a swimsuit, towel, and especially sunscreen. Campers can even come to camp wearing their swim suit if they would like – this cuts down on lost and found items, as well as changing time during the day. Young children and non-swimmers can bring water-wings marked with their name. Campers can also bring a water bottle with their name on it if they would like but it is not required. We have plenty of water breaks during the day at our many water stations around campus.

When you join the band, a specific list of what you need is emailed to you a couple weeks before band camp. A general list of what you need to bring would include:

No previous hiking or camping experience is necessary. Our treks are easy day hikes, not backpacking trips.

We recommend that every camper bring 2 bathing suits (a towel service is provided)! Sports campers will receive an equipment list for their particular sports prior to the summer season. We supply water and gatorade stations throughout the campus.

A $75 non-refundable deposit is required with the registration form (online or in the mail) to hold your child’s spot for camp. Your child is not registered until the deposit is received.

Believe it or not, the kids can go through them. They use even more towels in a wet summer. The towels don’t have a chance to dry out so fast in the wet weather. If we knew that we would always have beautiful dry sunny weather we would recommend less towels, but it’s New England and the weather is unpredictable.
