Camp Davis, Jackson, Wyoming-The Early Years In 1929 engineering faculty and students began construction of cabins, mess hall and kitchen, and a water system. The 2019 students will be the first to enjoy our new cabins. CampDavisReunion2019 U of M Camp Davis Michigan EARTH
When CampDavisReunion2019 hear “Camp Davis”, Jackson Wyoming comes to mind. That is only part of our story. Field courses in geology-collectively “Camp Davis”- were held in Michigan from 1873 to 1929. This illustration is adapted from the U of M Camp Davis Report of 1940. Michigan EARTH
In 1940, 47 engineers, botanists, and geologists studied at U of M Camp Davis. In 2019, there are 160. The kitchen staff meets the challenge of an active, outdoor schedule. Compare the prices in this page taken from the 1940 Camp Report with today. CampDavisReunion2019 Michigan EARTH
As the forests grew back after the 19th century lumber boom, it became difficult to teach surveying in Michigan. Wyoming was chosen as the location for U of M Camp Davis because of its wide open countryside. Photo: Camp Davis Report, 1929 CampDavisReunion2019 Michigan EARTH
U of M Camp Davis has provided an unparalleled learning experience each summer since 1929. Faculty, staff, and CampDavisReunion2019 will gather in August to dedicate the new student cabins and recreation hall. Camp Davis from Cream Puff, 2018. Photo by Nikolas Midttun
Dedicating a new recreation hall will be part of the Camp Davis 90th Anniversary. It will be a place for students to unwind as #umichcampdavis nears its 2nd century. //Top Nikolas Midttun, 2018.
