Hi Mike,
Rick Bennet at U Arizona has run a really cool “Accessible Earth” field camp. They are using new technology (e.g. remote sensing analysis, computational exercises) as well as taking advantage of a spectacular geologic setting. The camp ran for the first time last summer in Orvieto, Italy (I know, right!) and he is planning to run it again next summer.
Here is a news article about the camp
Rick, who is cc’ed to this email, should be able to point you even more information.
best,
-Michele

Hi all,
I have a student that needs to complete a geology field camp course and has difficulty hiking on steep terrain. Any recommendations for a camp?
Thanks,
