🎉 Congratulations to the 2026 AAPG Foundation Field Camp Scholars! 🎉

Brunton is proud to celebrate the 67 outstanding students selected to receive AAPG Foundation Field Camp Scholarships this year.

Field camp is one of the most important experiences in a geoscientist’s education—transforming classroom knowledge into real-world skills through hands-on fieldwork, observation, experience, mapping, and discovery.

These scholars represent the future of geoscience, and we are honored to support their journey alongside the AAPG Foundation. Their dedication, curiosity, and hard work will help shape the next generation of geologists, environmental scientists, researchers, and industry leaders.

Congratulations on this incredible achievement. We look forward to seeing where your careers—and your adventures—take you next.

👏 Join us in celebrating the 2026 AAPG Foundation Field Camp Scholars! 🥳

Happy Earth Day from Brunton! 🌍🧭

Today’s a reminder of why we do what we do: to help people get outside, learn the land, and navigate it with respect—whether you’re hiking, scouting, studying geology, or working in the field.

Wherever you are today, take a moment to look closer: a new rock, a new ridge, a new trail… and leave it better than you found it.
