Please send the above application information to: Dr. Chris Barker Field Camp Director Dept. of Geology P. O. Box 13011, SFA Station Stephen F. Austin State University Nacogdoches, TX 75962-3011 EM PHONE: (936) FAX: (936) 468-2437 A Note about Field Camp and Exercise Field camp is very demanding physically, so applicants should be in GOOD condition by the time it starts. In order to do field mapping, you have to go where the rocks are. As a result, we often hike up and down steep hills with a heavy backpack as we follow a geologic contact. You will have to carry your own water, food, rock hammer and other gear for a full day in the field. A positive way to look at this is that you'll be getting great exercise while hiking through beautiful, unspoiled wilderness looking at awesome rocks. If you are going to field camp within the next year, we suggest that you start an exercise program now! Vigorous bike riding is excellent preparation. We look forward to hearing from you and hope that you can join us on our summer adventure!
