Equipment
A recommended equipment list will be provided upon acceptance to the program. For specialized equipment at camp, students will check out equipment as groups or individuals for field exercises. Students are responsible for maintaining this equipment and returning it to the GSIs. Lost or damaged equipment must be replaced and final course grades will be withheld if lost or damaged equipment is not paid for.
