You can ADD field trips led by CFI staff for additional fees such as a FULL day river trip, hikes to nearby canyons, or a tour of the National Parks. 

FACILITY:

Professor Valley Field Camp is located 1.5 miles off Hwy 128. Our Field Camp can accommodate groups up to 40 plus our CFI staff.

Amenities include solar-powered electricity, culinary water delivered from town, limited rustic hot showers, vault toilets, campfire area with seating.

We provide roomy Lakota-style tipis with cots for sleeping. Participants bring own sleeping bags, pads, pillows and ground cloths as well towels and toiletries. Sleeping unit rentals are available.

We provide healthy, balanced meals, snacks, water, lemonade, coffee, tea with menus that accommodate meat and not-meat eaters alike. For additional dietary concerns, you may bring supplemental foods (storage provided in cook yurt; no adjustment to fees.)

Our solar-powered electric system can handle light loads such as a slide projector or computer. Tape decks, CD players are fine for your workshop purposes but otherwise we request you enjoy the sounds and silence of the natural world as much as possible! Quiet hours are between 10 PM and 7 AM in respect for the neighboring ranch. The yurts are cooled in warmer months by low voltage portable swamp coolers. There is a wood stove in the classroom yurt for cooler weeks.

There is no telephone at the camp and cell coverage is unreliable so you'll enjoy being "unplugged", savoring nature’s pace and gifts while staying with us. The nearest available telephone is at Sorrel River Ranch.

There are large dining "shades" that cover large picnic tables. The classroom can seat approximately 24 people at tables for severe weather. Otherwise, there are chairs or the campfire circle for "lecture style" for 40. Keep in mind this is "camping"; there is limited outside lighting; bring flashlights and headlamps.
