Environmental Science and Geology Camp - July 2026

Our Environmental Science and Geology Camp is an overnight experience designed to introduce rising seniors (Class of 2027) and juniors (Class of 2028) to Juniata's Environmental Science and Geology Departments and residential field station at Raystown Lake.  Students will participate in a number of activities including a field trip to Lincoln Caverns, Raystown Lake, a hands-on lake module, and overnight stay on Juniata's campus! There is a non-refundable $50 registration fee.

Each student and their family/supporters will also participate in the First Look on Monday, July 20 and be introduced to Juniata's broader campus community and application and financial aid processes.*

*Participants will be automatically registered for the corresponding First Look when registering for this program.
