Important Dates & Information

Camp begins: Tuesday, May 27, 2025, 4 pm at Lehigh or Wednesday, May 28 at prearranged locations on I-80 in PA, or Thursday, May 29, Chicago O'Hare airport (ORD).

Note that a set of preparatory activities need to be completed virtually before departure. These activities will familiarize the class with the sites we visit and become versed with the electronic tools we'll use. While we think the activities will take about 10 days to complete, they will be available mid-spring so you may complete them at your own pace.

Camp ends: Monday, June 23, 2025 at Lehigh University. We can also drop people off at Billings Airport (BIL), Montana, on Saturday June 21, by arrangement.

If you live outside of driving distance to Lehigh's campus, note that you can easily fly into and out of the camp.

Venue: Combination of traveling and base camping.

Cost: $4,500

Eligibility: Lehigh students and students from other academic institutions who meet the prerequisites listed on the Field Camp main page. We usually have strong representation from institutions other than Lehigh.

Lehigh Field Camp is committed to diversity, welcomes and encourages applications from all students, including members of under-represented groups.

Credits: 6
