A Day In The Field


Our 2015 Day in the Field Fundraiser was a blast! Check out the photos on the right and remember to sign up next year!
Have you ever wished the Field Academy was around when you were in high school? Are you curious about field-based learning? Are you looking for a fun and unique weekend getaway?

Sign up today for an unforgettable weekend with our dynamic staff & alumni, and a group of people seeking adventure, fun, engaged learning, and an exciting way to support the Field Academy! Open to all.

On this weekend excursion in southern Maine, we'll explore the intersection of ecology and economics as we learn about lobsters and the culture that surrounds them. Field Academy staff & alumni will facilitate the exploration and discussion. 

Participants will:
  • Pull traps and talk with lobstermen whose families have been fishing for generations,
  • Explore the rocky landscape of coastal Maine,
  • Observe and learn about the lobster's unique physiology,
  • Watch the sun set and enjoy a delicious lobster bake on the coastline at Camp Recompense at Wolfe's Neck Farm in Freeport, ME.

Come for the day on Saturday, or make a weekend of it! See the full schedule and meeting locations here.

Please note, the price of the event does not include housing.
