GEOFYRST

GEOFYRST (Geologic Experience Outdoors: the First Year Regional Summer Trip) is a six-day, pre-semester field trip exploring the geology and hydrology of the Catskill Mountains, the Berkshire Hills, and Cape Cod.

All incoming freshmen are invited to apply to go on this unique field trip. In addition to the experience, participants earn credit toward completion of the lab portion of the course GEOL 120 (Introduction to Geology). The cost is minimal (currently $100) and includes transportation and meals.

It's a camping trip so be ready to live in tents for six days.
