Panoramic view of Scarboroug Beach, SA. On the Atlantic Coast near Cape of Good Hope, the sandstones of the Cape Group rise in the background and the metamorphosed rocks of the Malmesbury Group outcrop in the near foreground.  This popular stop illustrates both the geology and dramatic scenery in Cape Province.

WELCOME to the 2012 Michigan Tech Africa Field Camp

 

This year field camps will be offered in both South Africa and in Kenya.

 

The South Africa field camp will run first followed by the South Africa/Kenya field camp. Both field camps will be 4-weeks (28 days) and will offer 6 credits or 24 CEUs. See the box at the right for this year's dates. The South Africa/Kenya camp will be split into two week segments in each country.

 

The field mapping courses are intensive in order to get in the amount of work required for 6 credits in 4 weeks; students can expect to be in the field 8 hours/day 6 days a week but some time will be set aside to allow students opportunities to explore both countries.
